Co-Designing the Future of our Digital Physical World

Abstract

What digital world do we want? Locked in screen-based experiences for eternity? Or an interwoven digital and physical existence for and by people?  If we want the latter, we need to know how to design and live within it and have methods that place people at the heart of creation. So let’s come together and ask ourselves how to co-design our digital future. In this talk, I will lay out the challenge of envisioning a physical digital world by investigating a centuries-old physical communication medium that has caused revolution and evolution, and quite literally re-written the future of humankind.
