Most of the time forecasts about the future are based on today. Prophecies end up being smaller adjustments of the existing.
By painting a picture of the future you have automatically gone into the trap, consciously or not, acquiring knowledge needed
to fulfill the prediction. What if it’s wrong? The future will always be unknown.
Is it possible to have a long term perspective taking future generations into consideration without knowing about the future?
How do you develop strategies that are adaptable to future unknown?
CONDITIONS believes that education should play a central role in developing these strategies for the unknown future.
Send your visual material, projects, articles or abstracts to submission@conditionsmagazine.com by the 1st of April.
Deadline for final submissions is the 1st of May.
Action Research, Play and Experience Design are closely aligned forms of co-operative/collaborative inquiry involving participatory methods. Each is concerned with investigating and designing experiences, immersive simulations, or even alternate realities. Each contributes valuable methods to the understanding of the appropriate methods for the pursuit of the unknown. This course explores the use of fusion methods across disciplines to create post-critical, speculative knowledge.
...really good teaching is about not seeing the world the way that everyone else does...
"Good teachers perceive the world in alternative terms, and they push their students to test out these new, potentially enriching perspectives. Sometimes they do so in ways that are, to say the least, peculiar."
Mark Edmundson, "Geek Lessons" NYT, 2008
