How Posthumanism plays a role in designing for the unknown?

“Design always implies an #intervention.”
💭Who are we designing for? What are the consequences of our designs? The way in which we design often has unknown consequences and risks - this calls for contemporary designers to embrace the position of not-knowing, but also recognition of the limits to our abilities. Design is a multi-stakeholder process which includes many #non-human actors. In the acknowledgment of our limits, we may be able to create designs which in fact bring us closer to natural systems.
📺In this episode Ron Wakkary and Oscar Tomico discuss our relationship with the world, our values and the potential for #Posthuman design. Wakkary visited Fab Lab Barcelona at IAAC to give the students from the Master in Design for Emergent Futures a masterclass in his work and theory.
📌Ron Wakkary is a full professor in the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at the Simon Fraser University in Canada, founder of the Everyday Design Studio and also a full professor in Industrial Design at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Future Everyday Cluster.
🗣Hosted by head of the Design Engineering Bachelor program at ELISAVA & MDEF Director Oscar Tomico.
