Speculative Graphic Design: The Idiot's-Eye-View

James Dyer

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Speculative designs tell stories about imaginary futures, they generate subversive commentaries about what is thought to be proper and possible in the present (Dunne and Raby).¹ Due to their almost theatrical nature, they are often prototypal and short-lived. Consequently, they rarely land in the hands of 'end-users' because the speculative design process is not driven (or hindered) by the production of commodities for the commercial market.
