## Metadata - Author: [[Daniel Fraga]] - Full Title: Ontological Design - Category: #books ## Highlights - All design is ontological, since its artefacts are deliberate prosthetics for being. First, we design our tools; then they design us in return. ([Location 121](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09YT29D78&location=121)) - Relations are everywhere and it is time we curate them. ([Location 157](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09YT29D78&location=157)) - In our age, ontological design is a kind of second amendment: it exposes some of the means through which we can defend our realities from the onslaughts of technocapitalism and its armies of ghosts. Although it designs us, we can design ourselves back; reality curation is self-defence. Subjectivity can be part of a design project. Ontological creativity in the 21st century is not an option, but an ethical necessity. Create or be created. There is no other way.
