The Dangerous Power of Speculation Past Event
The Dangerous Power of Speculation asks the gallery visitor to design their future by responding to ethical dilemmas leveraging speculative design.
The exhibition is a rollercoaster ride through impossible questions where each response builds upon the last, strengthening or weakening the ethical direction of that future through each choice. Visitors are presented with a visual feast of alternate realities to prime their choices, exploring topics like surveillance and AI, which provocatively challenge ethical norms.
The exhibition puts you in an immersive, communal experience designed to push your own ethical boundaries and reclaim your future.
Lucy West is presenting two additional events to support the exhibition: An ethics panel discussion on Monday, March 29, and a talk and workshop drawing on her 4-plus years of design ethics research on Wednesday, March 31.
