Found via Azeem Azhar’s Weekly Wondermissive: Future, Tech & Society
Text from superflux.in "How would you feel if you lost your job to an invisible code, a robotic arm, an algorithm? What happens to you – trend forecaster, policy maker, marketeer, curriculum planner, decision maker, statesperson – when you find yourself obsolete? What if the trend you contributed to, consumed you?" ….
"The Varkey Foundation invited us to build a highly experiential simulation, to provoke a diverse group of educators, decision makers and students about the future of education. We wanted to transport them straight to the beating heart of the issue, to look and feel what the world of work might look like if these automation trends came to fruition. We created two deeply immersive, theatrical simulations at opposite extremes, so people could experience their implications. This polarity gave visitors a chance to reflect on their own perspectives and decisions and contemplate the space between two possible future worlds, which are often branded as “utopia” and “dystopia”."
