Art and speculative design, opposed to the problem-solving of affirmative design, often seeks to “to raise issues, to ask questions and to challenge assumptions”; the very foundations of creativity and research. Especially in today’s increasingly complex world of technology and systems, the metaphorical thinking behind the creation of insightful art and speculative design can also help inspire novel solutions to the challenges facing us. Join us on Thursday 18th April to explore the role of art and speculative design to inspire solutions for change with FRSA Pip Mothersill, designer and researcher at the MIT Media Lab, Floor van de Velde, artist and Professor at the School of the Museum for Fine Arts, and Sarah Newman, artist and researcher at Harvard’s metaLAB.
