Stemming from artistic and prospective reflections, it was designed to facilitate the mental representation and structuring of the future, seen as a prospective panorama (futurescape) and as a multi-dimensional and moving ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>It helped to lighten the complexity of prospective exploration, enriched the range of its tools, whether to organize research or to produce future visions, and showed affinities with Science Fiction creations of cosmologies and practice of world-building. But rather than proposing and staging a specific future world, the canvas supported the diversity of perspective and the possibility to consider and situate many viewpoints, in order to venture into the margins, open up potentialities and better include.[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;color-nhtu&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;189856&#8243; sep_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;1&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;-2&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;376919&#8243;][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;85&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;164981&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1640&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;197508&#8243;][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; separator=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;468815&#8243;]Abstract[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;177969&#8243;]\u201cToward Alien Cosmologies, prospective of an anthropological reset\u201d is an on-going art-based future lab initiated by LIID Future Lab in 2017 to explore radically new ways of creating and questioning futures in the Anthropocene, AI and Post-truth era. This unprecedented paradigm shift is shaking all our anthropological grounds (human condition, relation to nature, time and space, values and belief systems, etc.) and requires to emancipate from western anthropo-centrism, materialism and epistemological frames, which still dominate conventional foresight practices. Post-humanist and non-western philosophies are important cognitive resources in that regard, but also art and aesthetics to liberate imagination, adventure into more free-style cognitive paths, and generate ex-centric future vocabularies at the periphery of dominant futures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Through iterative research, the lab developed a fluid and non-hierarchal conceptual canvas to design or appreciate, individually or collectively, future worlds or rather \u201ccosmologies\u201d.\u00a0 These stand as borderless, hybrid (real, virtual and fictional) future universes where alternative rationalities, life-styles, hybrid ecosystems and modes of existence can be designed as speculative experiments.<\/p>\n<p>In these future and more-than-human cosmologies, the alien is as much the human who needs to reinvent sustainable ways of living on Earth, as AIs\u2019 mysterious black-boxes, avatars, non-humans, viruses and other strange species fashioned by bio-engineers, and more generally the unknown and the future.\u00a0 How to live in the future and make a society with the alien factor?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For the conference, we will introduce the canvas, which works as a \u201cpolygonal\u201d critical topology.<\/p>\n<p>RBW[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;158118&#8243; sep_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;168825&#8243;]<strong>Option (if additional time or space):<\/strong> we will perform a narrative system of five entangled stories created with the canvas, to prototype and simulate a first and most likely dysfunctional future cosmology.

Instead of falling into radically alternate worlds or science-fiction aesthetics (where world-building approaches often lead), the experience searches to play with the ambiguity between reality and fiction, and with the make belief mechanisms at the heart of our relation to the future. The stories will also include a theoretical dimension, half way between philosophical tales of the future and theory-fiction experiments, in order to touch on and relate key critical future topics in an un-orthodox way.

The 2022 SFRA Conference is dedicated to visions of human futures that center and foreground the issues of those from the margins, including Indigenous groups, ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities, and any people whose stakes in the global order of envisioning futures are generally constrained due to the mechanics of our contemporary world. For many people around the world imagining radically different futures has a life or death quality, as their presents are beset by societal discrimination, poverty, inequality, and precarity, as well as the acute effects of climate change and the global environmental crisis. How can futures from the margins speak to power in presents?<br \/>\nWe are especially interested in contemporary \u201cfuturisms\u201d that foreground the margins, expose market processes in manufacturing majoritarian futures.
