Putting the Dating in
Online Dating
Analyzing the current state and reimagining the future of Online Dating.
OCAD U Systems Thinking | 2020
In collaboration with Ireena Haque, Gulnar Joshi, Aneesha Kotti
In a team of four, we leveraged a current-world scenario in collaboration with strategic systems thinking practices to co-create a synthesis map of online dating during the era of COVID-19, and beyond.
We focused on a multi-lens approach; discussing the social, economic, environmental, political and values implications of the current and future of online dating.
By using various tools and methods from foresight and systems thinking practices our team developed a synthesis map designed as a communicative artifact that translates multiple knowledge perspectives about the social system revolving around online dating to illustrate the emerging dilemmas and challenges within this complex system scenario.
