TITLE OF PRESENTATION
Vision-led Transition Designing: Making Abundance Legible
DESCRIPTION
The shift to Distributed Energy Systems as afforded by renewables is already causing problems for infrastructures and worldviews structured around scarcity. Media Architecture will be needed to help people navigate this Transition, but the practice will need to become bolder than its Society of Spectacle lineage.
