 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).  Design today deals with many complex systems, including politics, economy, society, technology and the environment.

-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. Participants were the students and faculty (and their daughters) of the University of Washington: Alex, Megan, Angel, Stacey, Karla, Devin, Nate, Hillery, Alyssa, Rachel, Adam, Tiffany, Rara, Hannah, Cindy, Saloni, Kate, Katie, Lars, Jon, Ivy, Fiona.

-  * [[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. +  * [[franco]]: Radical openness and unsustainable homogenization.
