In this assignment, you will create a speculative design that chooses 2 concept, design idea, problem, or ideal in the present and extends it into a utopie, dystopic, or simply atopic future. In doing so, you can choose your own current concept, ideally related to your future career (teacher's pay, Facebook tracking, urban farming, advancements In food.technology, etc.) Remember that we'll be extending this topic into a grant in the next project, so choose wisely. 1. Start with a well-researched and quoted/cited problem/idea narrative in the present. Essentially, make a short argument about what the problem/idea is and why it's important to address. What is the problem/trend? Why? How? For whom? Remember: Point + Evidence + Analysis. Research is a must here, including at least 4 strong sources (a mix of academic and journalistic is ok but not sloppy blogs or wikipedia). Follow our reading and discussion/powerpoint on statements of need as your guide. (2 pages single-spaced + a works cited) 2. Expand the problem or ideal into the future-what do you speculate happening in 10, 20, 100 years? 3. Createla brief story about an everyday interaction with youndesign This story must have: a network of subtle speculations and lessons (provoked not told), hints of a future world beyond your design, more than one character, dialog, unforeseen complications around your design. Consider: How is the everyday world changed for this person? Focus on the culture that might develop around your design, the laws that support it, the ways people resist it, the ways it affects society generally. Get into minutiae. Take into account the lessons we've learned along the way about good speculative writing.(~3-4 pages single-spaced, formatted professionally) 4. Conclude with a 1/2-page artist's statement that describes why you wrote the story in the way you did. 5.Create an excellent coverpage in canva for the piece. Peon a0 ed OT a en a
