"Three Examples of Good Design Fiction
"My last post, “On Glass & Mud: A Critique of (Bad) Corporate Design Fiction“, generated a lot of discussion about commercial design futures.
"Mick Costigan suggested I was being too “high-horse” in my criticism. He (and several others) suggested that we should focus on the positive aspects of doing futures work in a constrained organizational setting.
"Several people also asked me for good examples of futures videos done right (that aren’t about mud). You should check out the comments in “On Glass & Mud” for a deeper discussion of ethics and responsibility in design futures.
"In the mean time, here are three examples of what I think are excellent examples of design futures."
(((Those are indeed pretty good design fiction videos, as you will see if you venture over there and look. The number of design fictions around on the net now are frankly embarrassing. They've overwhelmed my ability to curate them. Something constructive should be done. That'll be a good topic for discussion at this forthcoming EMERGE event in Phoenix.)))
