Future Technology Provocations

world-building with future technologies

Emerging technologies are often discussed in very technocentric terms, but it is the human interaction with technology that produces impact: these short videos explore those interactions and what they mean.

DNA Enhancement Services

What if DNA therapies could be used to alter an individual’s abilities or appearance? This short video explores a fictional future where you can do just that.

Collaboration with Andrea Carrera, Duncan Carter, and Robert Turner.

Nano-sugar

Sugar consumption is being recognised as a major factor in lifestyle diseases, potentially causing more problems than saturated fats.  Perceived sweetness depends on the amount of sugar dissolving on the tongue in an instant: nano-scale sugar crystals would dissolve faster and mean a sweeter taste can be achieved using a smaller quantity.  But would that help?

Collaboration with Saki Maruyama, Orfeo Nicolai, and Larasati.
