This article investigates speculative design and the olfactory concerning potential future life forms and styles for more long term sustainable and survivable futures. Referring to Anticipatory Design, the article links anticipatory speculative inquiry literature from design, culture and posthumanism... Read »
In InnArbeid we have observed that participation and involvement increases an anticipation of social synchronicity, as opposed to social conformity. I discuss some concerns and considerations on diversity seen through embodied perspectives on design, inclusion and in particular on technology.

This paper is about exploring how interaction- and service-design approaches can be used in imagining and proposing urban futures. The paper presents an ongoing project on investigating how experiential, prototype-driven design methods from service- and interaction-design can offer new ways of exploring possible futures in today’s increasingly digital, service-driven cities...

With the early onset of cataclysmic climate breakdown (Xu et al., 2018) and “biological annihilation” culminating in the ‘sixth mass extinction’ (Ceballos et al., 2017), organized human life is presented with a bleak future... Read »
The core matter we address in this session is how we may live and learn together; relationally, ontologically and anticipatorily, in designerly/ing ways that allow the ‘not yet’ into the present moment (Miller, 2018). This is a question of care, an ‘ethics of caring’ (e.g... Read »
As part of my doctoral design project entitled Transformative Speculation of Life Forms and Life Styles: An Ecological Design Approach in the Context of Climate Change, in XIANGVEI I have researched future life forms via speculative designing to again insights into sustainable futures by redirecting human enhancement. XIANGVEI is a speculative design organ future... Read »
