What if we could shift from the singular future vision of the big tech? Can we make futures thinking and design more accessible and actionable?
Experiential Participatory Futures
Design Futuring
Qualitative Design Research
The project captures the future imaginations of Gen Z around socializing technologies especially social media. The project explores these wider narratives not governed by the “Big Tech Platforms" and co-imagines future scenarios and stories around the hidden forces that the social media of today works on like algorithms, privacy, trends and other similar forces which guide the social media access and usage. The project aims to design tools to capture patterns of expressions around concerns, desires and fears around the social media of tomorrow.
