Workshop at Wired Next Fest 2015

Near Future Design. The future doesn’t exist. It’s a performance!
How to learn to deal with a present continuously transformed, exponential innovation and disruption? How to twist the future in a collaborative performance about possible and desirable futures?
Nefula will be at Wired Next Fest 2015 with a 6 hours of an intensive “hands-on” workshop.
Participants will answer to all these questions through the Nefula’s Near Future Design Methodology, developing during the workshop some easy Pre-totypes Transmedia Narratives concepts.
Goals:
– What is Near Future Design? And what is Design Fiction?
– How can we give rise to our vision about the future?
– What is a Pre-totype, as compared with a prototype?
– How can Transmedia Narratives help us to tranform our vision of the future into engaging, performative, ubiquitous communication?
– What does Baudrillard’s Simulacra idea have to do with all this?
Who can participate:
visionaries, designer, hackers, social engineers, entrepreneurs and startupper, everyone wants to have new tools to communicate his/her vision about the future in the contemporary era.
Your takeaways:
– to learn about Near Future Design Methodology and its tools;
– to learn how to transform your vision on the future into pre-totypes;
– to learn how to powerfully communicate your pre-totypes using a Transmedia Narrative.
