 ==== Visualizing The Invisible ====
-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).

However, designing in and with complex systems means that many of the solutions generate new problems. So how do we design to think about problems, without necessarily falling into the trap of solutionism? As we think about problems, we can also think about future problematics (assumptions, expectations, different perspectives, and the trap of prediction). This workshop aims to explore visualizing the invisible in the context of experiential futures, using techniques from scenario building and pre-enactments.
