Speculative
Futures
Lab
Research and practice at the intersection of nature, technology, and culture. We explore speculative futures, embodied interaction, and emergent systems to reimagine how we inhabit digital and physical space.
Research Areas
4 areasSpeculative Design
activePossible futures through design fiction
We explore alternative presents and plausible futures through design fiction, world-building, and critical making. Our practice investigates how speculative narratives can reshape our relationship with technology, ecology, and each other.
Embodied Interaction
activeBody, technology, and space
Investigating the relationship between human bodies, computational systems, and physical space. We create installations and interfaces that respond to gesture, breath, proximity, and presence — moving beyond screens toward spatial computing.
Emergent Systems
activeComplex adaptive behaviors
Studying complex adaptive systems and their emergent behaviors — from mycelial networks to urban ecosystems. We build simulations and generative tools that model how order arises from simple rules and local interactions.
Biomimetic Interfaces
exploringNature-informed digital design
Drawing from biological patterns, growth algorithms, and ecological principles to inform digital interface design. We believe the most intuitive interfaces mirror the systems humans evolved within.
