Towards A Civic Parliament: Through The Lens of An Augmented Democracy
Yu-Cheng Tyler Su (Year: 4)
The project studies political congregation, mainly debates, in both existing and virtual spaces, and how virtual debating could be the future of legislation process for direct democracy.
With the help of new media such as virtual immersion, the project urges for the inclusion of the public in political debates by connecting national political arenas such as the Palace of Westminster with local congregational spaces like existing community centres. Parliament will no longer exist in the parliament, but with ‘the people’ and ‘the public’.
Is it possible to imagine a new political scenario where the legislation process will no longer be limited to members of parliament (MPs) and politicians?
