Design and The Construction of Imaginaries – Simon Fraser University – 2025-03
As futures are increasingly foreclosed by dominant tech narratives of power, speed, efficiency and consumption it’s increasingly important to question the role of design in constructing and telling these stories. This talk addresses some of the strategies and techniques used in constructing future imaginaries through design and explores ways in which the critical practice of design can be used to challenge, problematise and reveal these dominant narratives as well as propose alternatives.
