 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.
+This workshop aims to explore the future problematics of visualizing the invisible, using scenario building and pre-enactments. The workshop was initiated and produced by Stacey Moran and Adam Nocek, It was facilitated by Maja Kuzmanovic and Nik Gaffney of FoAM Brussels and hosted in Amsterdam Midwest, thanks to Cocky Eek of FoAM Amsterdam who found the space. The workshop is a part of the "Visualizing The Invisible: Design and Creativity in The Netherlands", summer course of the University of Washington.

 What do we know?
-We visualize environments, ideologies, information, cities and people. We use tools and methods, often technological, to visualize the invisible. What is considered invisible is different for different people. Things can be invisible for specific individuals or specific groups of people; they can be fully or partially invisible.Invisibility is made by us, it is a subjective phenomenon, and can have elements of faith. Physical things can remind us of things that are invisible. Using technology to visualize the invisible has often much to do with priviledge and power. Visualizing the invisible has been a part of philosophy, reasoning and meaning-making.

 === Scenarios ===
-  * [[Franco]]: Radical openness and unsustainable homogenization. Everything is visualized and shared, but unseen due to massive 'filter failure'. There is an illusion of choice, when in effect everything is the same. Economic profit and cost efficiency are shared and visualized. Every individual is so visible that they become invisible and the value of their achievements are ignored. Excess, resource depletion, greed and jealousy are kept invisible.
