Abstract:

Through 100 designs--defined expansively, from lab grown organs and robotic companions to smart cities, nationwide literacy projects, and outer space tourism--this exhibition engages complex confluences of design, science, and technology, emphasizing how designers are responding to human needs, desires, and fears and synthesizing the unimaginable with the incremental, and the iterative with the apocalyptic in an effort to help further an understanding of the near and far future. Futures take up no definite space or time. Tomorrows inhabit a fuzzy chronological logic for many of us, simultaneously now, part of our present, and something to come. We all understand the world in different ways depending on where and how we live, and asymmetric access to resources means that the agency to design and activate desired futures is unevenly distributed. Design and designers can help us understand and chart a path through these amorphous and freighted avenues, opening up discussion rather than presenting the future as a fait accompli, and offering the tools to understand and, if needed, take a critical stance in relation to the promises and perils of advanced technologies. From the practical to the conceptual, the projects presented here allow us all to comprehend the possible, debate the inevitable, dream the unreachable, and weigh the alternatives.
