Futures 2084

To be Digital or Not to Be

To be Digital or Not to Be

Author: Giuliana Ramirez

“My proposal is that of a futuristic world. The future will be technological and digital or it will not be. Society becomes more complex due to technological inventions in order to survive. They were necessary measures taken against the threats of the effects of pollution environmental, producing changes in social life such as the construction of spherical homes, silver clothing to protect from the sun’s UV rays, transportation to avoid more pollution, among others.” Giuliana Ramirez

 

This imagination is part of the pedagogical proposal of the Ecenarro Turrillo Chair, Introducción al Conocimiento Proyectual 1 (ICP 1), Ciclo Básico Común (CBC), Universidad de Buenos Aires UBA. It corresponds to the initial sketch exercise of the first semester of 2022, linked to the Program 2084 Imagined Futures from the South.

Students were invited to dream and develop utopias with the precept of traveling to the future, the year 2084, and propose imaginations/transformations, understanding that design and its project disciplines are tools to improve contemporary and everyday living, with a sustainable commitment.

The teaching team was composed by Graciela Ecenarro, Andrea Santangelo, Silvina de Gennaro, Juan I. Cabello, Florencia de la Quintana, Natalia Naredo, Luciana Quartaruolo, Santiago Ortí, Andrea López y Natalia Ardissone.

Note: given that some of the imaginations have been delivered without titles, from the editing area of 2084 Futures Imagined from the South, we decided to give them a title with the intention of matching them with others that do have, helping to distinguish them.
