________________________________________________________________

I am interested in object-based learning & how an object can be a vehicle for narrative.

Speculative exercise of imagining a vision of the future using objects to think about human experience & behaviour.
________________________________________________________

This connected to a unit assignment I am currently teaching, whereby I introduce a speculative exercise. Student’s imagine a vision of the future using objects ‘artefacts’ to think about what the human experience and the designed world may look like in 2050.

Interrogated objects using the Pestle analysis;

  • Political
  • Economic
  • Social
  • Technology
  • Legal
  • Environmental

Then reimagined these objects in the future, in 2050. 

The object reimagined in another time & space (Artefact 2050) To imagine a future scenario became easier & richer when we began imagining everyday objects / artefacts in that future scenario. How would they be used in the future, would there be a use for them?
