Description

Climate change, species extinction, pandemics, glacial melting, wildfires –– we live in the Anthropocene, a time that urgently calls for radical change. We humans have fundamentally changed our planet to adapt it to our needs; and we are experiencing the consequences. Designers are increasingly beginning to initiate change, suggesting ways in which we can think and act More than Human. The central questions are: How can we shape the future on this planet? Which new perspectives, concepts, and design strategies are needed to achieve this?
