Koch, G.), and current exhibition\/lab \u2018Toward Alien Cosmologies, prospective of an anthropological reset\u2019 in Geneva, Rapha\u00eble Bidault-Waddington will introduce the diversity of emerging philosophies that she mobilizes to open, think and structure new future perspectives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The Anthropocene, but also the AI era and the post-truth paradigm, currently shake all our anthropological foundations, ranging from our terrestrial anchoring and (toxic) lifestyles, to anthropocentric value-systems, rationality principles and forms of consciousness. How can we design resilient future worlds, or even cosmologies, to navigate these uncertain and blurry horizons? As Professor Carrillo will highlight in the introduction, the epistemological (and ethical) challenges raised by this unprecedented planetary context require innovation in both our foresight and cognitive practices.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting LIID\u2019s on-going R&amp;D future lab, Rapha\u00eble will highlight non-conventional philosophies, such as post-humanist philosophies (Ferrando), speculative and non-standard philosophies (Meillassoux, Laruelle) and theory-fiction (Negarestani) among others, to explore new future rationalities and methodologies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">This research also includes reflections on knowledge formats and art-based experiments. Mixing her experiences in knowledge economy, conceptual art, urban design, academic research and pedagogy, Rapha\u00eble will show how she designs hybrid future labs and heuristic devices (conceptual maps, artistic installations, fiction and image-based speculative experiences, etc.) to address the complexity and cognitive challenge of the future. Her practice resonates with current foresight explorations on world-building and transition design (Zaidi), and with futurescaping practices (Jain).<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243;
