To say goodbye to 2021 I made this yearly playlist and built it to narrate a #designfiction 🚀⚡️
»State of the Art in 2021« shapes a fictional dialog between a human and a cheeky virtual assistant, using each song title as a quote.

The Futuring Machines project launched in 2024 at @bauhaus_uni! 🚀 How can the co-writing of speculative short stories together with Generative AI support critical reflection on future visions + foster perspective change? Looking forward to addressing this with @brifrischu & co!

[Jordi Tost @jorditost]

🎉 I was awarded a fellowship @bauhaus_uni for the project »Futuring Machines«! Next year I’ll investigate AI as thought-provoking impulse and craft tools to facilitate critical reflection on future scenarios + foster perspective change through fiction writing. Looking forward!

@julianisland Happy Birthday @julianisland! 🥳

I just published a new essay:

‘Design Critique Culture’

In the essay, I argue that critiques are an essential and distinct format in the design process. They deserve more attention and reflection.

The playlist is a critical artifact – building on critical voices and current discourses within design research and speculative practice, it uses songs released in 2021 to make, with ambiguity and satire, a critical statement from a 2021 perspective.
