environmental (Anthropocene, energy, resilience), digital (technologies, AI, post-truth, multiverse, etc.) and demographic (generational turnover, post-colonial paradigm) &#8211; impact every aspect of life, in both their material and immaterial dimensions: uses, organizations, society, territories, ecosystems, human and no-human planetary equations, as well as representations, imaginaries, values and meaning.<\/p>\n<p>The ontological uncertainty (what we call the alien factor) they sow invites us to reconsider the anthropological and epistemological foundations of the human condition, and to imagine new cosmologies as possible visions of the world and of the future. TAC (Toward Alien Cosmologies) emerged in 2017 from initial research on the future of\/with AI, that revealed this unprecedented spectrum of critical future challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Whether through publications, conferences, interactive masterclasses, exhibitions, one-off workshops, or more in-depth collaborations, we produce insights into the contemporary world\u2019s evolutions and the plurality of futures, always mixing approaches, angles and perspectives (what we call polygonal research, as it is multifaceted).<\/p>\n<p>The horizon of future worlds, impossible to embrace and rationalize as a whole, is presented as an open and fluid panorama (futurescape), moving and evolving along trends, transitions and tensions to be highlighted. Image-based research (online curation and AI generation) also supports the construction of a sensitive relationship to the future, and possible aesthetic and conceptual breakthroughs in future-thinking.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;248641&#8243;]<strong>Experiences related to this axis:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2025 : Toward Alien Cosmologies, prospective of an epistemological refoundation, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tacfuturelab.org\/en\/prospective-of-an-epistemological-reset-nova-biennale-wallonia-bruxelles-center-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biennale Nova_XX catalog<\/a>, Paris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2024: Panorama of environmental, digital and demographic transitions<\/strong>, keynote, <a href=\"https:\/\/tacfuturelab.org\/en\/art-innovation-and-foresight-day-louvre-lens-valley-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Louvre Lens Valley<\/a>, Lens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2022: Panorama of transitions and museums future challenges<\/strong>, masterclass, <a href=\"https:\/\/tacfuturelab.org\/en\/future-of-museums-museum-of-art-and-history-geneva-2022-23\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Museum of Art and History<\/a>, Geneva.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2022:<\/strong> <strong>Exploring Time Multi-dimensionality via an Artistic and Polygonal Research Approach<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tacfuturelab.org\/en\/artistic-polygonal-research-on-time-multidimensionality-primer-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PRIMER Global Conference<\/a>, online.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2021: Designing Post-Human Futures<\/strong>, in <a href=\"https:\/\/tacfuturelab.org\/en\/designing-post-human-futures-knowledge-for-the-anthropocene-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Knowledge for the Anthropocene,<\/em><\/a> E.

The discipline of Foresight and Future studies at large is currently evolving along the aforementioned paradigm shift.<\/p>\n<p>Taking part in that discussion, whether to structure our analyses (axis 1) or to guide collective explorations (see our Collaborations), we seek to design and experiment innovative, if not disruptive, methodologies. This endeavor includes a reconceptualization of critical future research by introducing notions such as polygonal research, future cosmologies, futurescapes, the alien factor, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>It also includes the design of exploratory devices, tools and formats (e.g. diagrams such as the TAC Future Canvas, installation, workshop kit, etc.), to facilitate the cognitive and collaborative experience of future research. Clarity, openness, plurality, inclusivity, empowerment, impact, sustainability, efficiency, purposefulness, are some of our design principles.\u00a0 For that matter, we continuously search for inspiration and learnings from a broad spectrum (open polygon) of disciplines: Foresight, Trend analysis, Design, Transition studies, Science Fiction, World-building, Arts, Ethnography, Post-humanist Philosophy, Pedagogy, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Our tools are conceived as vectors of trans-disciplinarity and interculturality.<\/p>\n<p>Each experience is an opportunity to adjust and sharpen our tools, to design and to experiment ad hoc methodological prototypes, taking in consideration the context, the specific future challenges addressed, the profiles of the participants and the research purpose.\u00a0 \u00a0See <a href=\"https:\/\/tacfuturelab.org\/en\/collaborations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all our collaboration modules<\/a> and ecosystems.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;120343&#8243;]<strong>Experiences related to this axis:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2025 : Toward Alien Cosmologies, prospective of an epistemological refoundation,<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/tacfuturelab.org\/en\/prospective-of-an-epistemological-reset-nova-biennale-wallonia-bruxelles-center-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biennale Nova_XX catalog<\/a>, Paris.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2024: TAC Future Lab, Opening Innovative Epistemological and Pedagogic Horizons,<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/tacfuturelab.org\/en\/limit-no-limit-art-design-research-conference-paris-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Limit\/NoLimit, Art &amp;
