✨We are thrilled to host a digital workshop for @futures_berlin next week on Wednesday, 14.12.22, on the futures of ageing!

What better time than the end of the year approaching to take the time to reflect our personal stereotypes and playfully reimagine them as ‘superpowers’. In this interactive 2-hour workshop, we will share some of our ageing research with you and take you on a journey to create future avatars based on the question: How do you want the future of ageing to look like?

❓When? 14.12.2022, 06:30pm to 08:30pm CET
Where? Online via Zoom. The link is provided to all participants shortly before the event.
🎬Digital doors open at 06:20pm CET.

And another Futures Probes cycle comes to an end … After 6 months of exploring ‘Futures of Tourism’ we captured our research, insights and image of the futures in a zine (a self-made and self-published small magazine).

The zine combines our own research morphed into essays and fun and silly games, as well as a closer look into the many images of the futures we collected via our futures questionnaire.

You can find the online version here or via link in bio: https://www.futuresprobes.com/en/futures-probes-of-tourism-the-zine/

Guess what?! We made a zine (a self-made and self-published small magazine) on our first research topic, the futures of tourism. The zine combines our own research morphed into essays and fun and silly games as well as a closer look into the many images of the futures we collected via our futures questionnaire.

Watch out for more content coming your way! We will publish the zine online in the. coming weeks.

Can artificial intelligence take the mental load off women?

In our project „Neugefragt“, (engl. ask in a new way) we responded to questions about computer science asked by citizens during the @wissenschaftsjahr 2022 „Nachgefragt!“ (engl. ask something). Our responses didn’t necessarily answer the questions, but put them in context of broader speculation. The outcomes took form in texts, comics, audio plays and a performance.

The project was developed in collaboration with @wenzelmehnert & @berndhopfengartner as part of the Artist in Lab program of the Fraunhofer Network "Science, Art and Design" and the project @faqinformatik of the Gesellschaft für Informatik and the @fraunhofer.isi. and shown at @berlinscienceweek.
