DescriptionAbstract: "The Transhumanist movement posits that our destiny lies among thestars, and that technological progress should be let run wild to achieve humanity’s greatest purpose. But who gets to decide where we are headed? In this thesis I explore how design could facilitate an inclusive dialogue against this deterministic stance of progress.
I dive deep into the sixties disobedient engagement with technology, investigating counterculture’s radical commitment to imagination.
Exploring the medium of design fiction, I seek to infuse a contemplative and poetic hybridity into the discipline. The outcome is an immersive installation staging a collective worldbuilding, inviting the audience to reengage in the future and its infinite possibilities."
