The artefact looks into the pace of time and the role of time in art education through a mind map. The artefact is visually divided into two areas where the first one (left) looks into time as something active and shared in a group. In practice it means the time lecturers give to students through discussions, mentoring etc. It is time that can be seen as something very functional and due to that – goes by fast.
The second area (right) looks at time through a much slower paste and can be seen as time spent on looking, thinking, creating new behaviours and structures. A time that is very necessary but can often be seen as time “wasted” due to it’s slow pace. Nevertheless, it is crucial for changes and new ideas to take place. Eventhough this process can and should also be spent in groups where one can change ideas, the initial input should involve contemplation (which is also represented on the artefact).
The Cone helps categorise future scenarios into four distinct buckets:
And lastly, preferred futures, the Holy Grail of speculative design. Preferred is where you place the scenarios you want to happen.
This is where most design practitioners operate. It describes what is likely to happen unless there is an extreme disturbance or turmoil.
Plausible refers to what could happen. It’s where scenario planning and speculation live.
At the edge of the cone is what might happen, even if it’s difficult to imagine.
