The EINA University Master's Degree in Research in Art and Design (MURAD) reviews the relationship between future and technology. Elena Bartomeu and Dolors Soriano, teachers on the MURAD, will highlight the relevance of design for planning impact scenarios, where technology succeeds or fails thanks to the ability for anticipation of risk situations and integration in economic, administrative and social mechanisms.

The use of fiction and prospective techniques aids the approach to future scenarios because what use are technological innovations if we aren’t able to imagine equally innovative scenarios at a personal, social or economic level?

Part of the Practices and Fields of Contemporary Design II module on the MURAD, the talk is one of the activities in Mobile Week Barcelona 2018, an open space for thought about the digital transformation that connects the whole of the city through art, science and technology.
