TAC, prospective of an anthropological reset
on-going exploration and visualization experiments at the frontier of Art, Knowledge and Foresight
Exploring Next, APF (Association of Professional Futurists) Global Conference (online), 2022.
Recalling the many bridges between artistic research and foresight, the intervention traced how the design of the TAC Future Canvas continues from LIID future Lab’s previous work and from Raphaële Bidault-Waddington's artistic practices (Image Lab, Polygon installation, Sémioscape diagram).-The TAC Future Canvas was then unfolded along its 5 spheres / scales of transformation and projection of the world towards the future. Each is impacted by numerous trends and illustrated with moodboards. The artistic installation exhibited at HiFlow at the same time gave an even broader overview of the five dimensions.-The creation of diagrams presents formal (visuality, overall mapping, sensitive report), conceptual (methodology, reasoning structure, ordering, pedagogical clarity), and prospective (change mapping, ecosystem vision, multiple perspectives) advantages.
