New European project SpeculativeEdu is starting with the presentations and discussion about speculative and related design practices today.
This year’s Speculative Design Workshop (Interakcije 2018) will focus on one of the most relevant global topics: climate change. Workshop will take place 15-20 October at the Split Arts Academy.
“Western melancholy” can be understood as the ultimate consequence of our community’s acceptance of the incapacity to stop devastation of the environment and climate change by transforming the social and economic models responsible for those problems.
This year workshop is dealing with one the most focused “big” global issuse — automation.
The new and final work in the so-called Mediterranean Speculative Trilogy by Ivica Mitrović and Oleg Šuran from the Visual Communications Design Department at the Arts Academy in Split premiered at the exhibition titled “How Will We Work?” at the Vienna Biennale for art, design and arhitecture 2017 – Robots. Work. Our Future.
In order to discuss, critically reflect and re-think today speculative design practice, public discussion is scheduled for the Wednesday 19th of October. Invited guests will discuss the role of the speculative design in the “real world”.
This year workshop, as an extension of the “Speculative – Post-Design Practice or New Utopia?” exhibition and accompanied booklet, is dealing with the speculative design role in the “real world”.
We tried to answer “Speculative – Post-Design Practice or New Utopia?” question through a series of interviews with the authors of the presented works together with the prominent international practitioners in the filed of speculative design.
