Catalog description
Design fiction and speculative design are powerful tools for exploring aspects of social, cultural, political, and ethical life. This course introduces students to the history of design fiction in art, interface design, games, film, performance, and other media. Students will prototype objects and interfaces for near-future scenarios as a method for examining the possible impacts of new and emerging technologies. Theory and methods from design fiction are applied to design exercises and hands-on projects with performance, video, and games to produce critical works.
