Miso likes to investigate the attractions and tensions in human relation, particularly as these affective structures shape behaviors and influence collective decision making. By taking an experimental and participatory approach to dialogic design, Miso intends to tap into the collective wisdom that we hold in pursuit of questions around “belonging”.
