+Design today deals with many complex systems, including politics, economy, society, technology and the environment. Very often design is seen as a means for problem solving. However, designing in and with complex systems means that many of the solutions generate new problems. So how do we design for thinking about problems, without necessarily dealing falling into the trap of solutionism. When thinking about problems, we can also think about future problematics (assumptions, expectations, different perspectives and the trap of prediction).
+This workshop aims to explore the future problematics of visualizing the invisible, using scenario building and pre-enactments.

+=== Framing ===
 Foresight and futures studies can be thought of visualisers of the ultimate invisible: the future. Contrary to common belief, foresight is not about predicting the future. It is much more about revealing assumptions and expectations, and about creating sufficient distance from the present to be able to look at our current situation for different vantage points of probable, possible and preferred futures.

+  * Motivated
+  * Trusting
+  * Purposeful
+  * Strong and beautiful
+  * Excited
