RAWFUTURES

I'm interested in nascent technologies, artifacts from the near future & futures noir (potemkin futures - built solely to deceive others into thinking that developments are better than they appear). My work is mostly about identifying weak signals of change and decoding raw futures as well as exploring new trends and their impact on socio-technological systems... In my academic life I've studied in different places Culture and Technology, B.A. (Thesis: Development of floodlighting in german football stadiums from 1955-1965) and afterwards Futures Studies, M.A., at FU Berlin (Thesis: Design Fiction)... Co-Founder of HYPERMORGEN and founding member of DATAMANTICS. Zukunftsforschung (Futures Research), Innovation and Strategic Foresight. Making sense of futures since Blade Runner. Decoding futures and anticipating their impact on socio-technological systems.
