Net Zero Possible Futures (by invitation)
What might net-zero futures feel like? What kinds of new relationships to energy, mobility, and buildings will people need for this future to become a reality? Workshop participants will be invited to explore this question by experimenting with nature-based methods--primarily building terrariums out of natural and found materials. Through making these speculative and collaborative net-zero world prototypes, participants will explore and express the possibilities for a net-zero future.
In this workshop we will share findings from the Net Zero Precincts project and run the design workshops with a wider audience. This will involve a smaller scale version of the living world's activity to allow the audience to have a hands-on experience with imagining and creating possible net zero futures. This event will be attached to the Net Zero Precincts exhibition of the large scale terrariums created in August with our stakeholders.
Presented by Emma Quilty and Dion Tuckwell (ETLab) in collaboration with Darren Sharp and Sam Rye (MSDI).
This workshop is by invitation only.
Futures at the Edge symposium
This slow symposium discusses futures at/in/from the edge. It calls for a decentralising vision and asks how people, other species, environment and emerging technologies might live together in the as yet unknown, propelled by its edges.
