With its monopolising tendencies, Silicon Valley’s big tech firms privatise and manufacture futuristic narratives that we uncritically end up consuming.
- Critical Discourse AnalysisCritical Futures
Tracing Gigatrends
Explore how Gigatrends, changes of transformational magnitude, don’t just challenge existing systems, but also give rise to entirely new societal paradigms. Learn to distinguish between shallow hypes and tectonic shifts and map interconnected events to reveal their underlying dynamics.
- GigatrendsHorizon ScanningSocial Wavefront Mapping
Imagining Future Lifeworlds
Ask: ‘What if?’ as you converge systemic shifts as seeds of alternative lifeworlds: Transformational Scenarios. Map constraints, resistance and contengencies that influence change dynamics over time. Detail the conditions of tomorrow’s daily life and co-author, vivid yet provoking narratives and unearth emerging aspirations, needs and problems that might frame future human experiences.
- Actor MappingFutures WheelScenario Design
Speculative Design
Visualise tomorrow’s human experiences: Co-author vivid and provoking narratives to unearth emerging aspirations, new behaviors or underserved needs.
