Sci-fi: Matt Ward runs the MA in Design - Critical Theory and Practice at Goldsmiths College, London. As part of their Fictional Futures project (about the design of “imagined, science fiction inspired, future artefacts; PDF), Matt asked Jack and I, as Schulze & Webb, to run a teaching day. We led the students through a number of drawing exercises, talks and discussions on stories, belief and the aesthetics of artefacts in science fiction, and finally a look at their work.
As part of all of this, I took some time to discuss my own favourite concepts from science fiction, and other related ideas. I've put the presentation online, with my rather rough, very stream-of-consciousness notes: Sci-fi I like, Fictional Futures, Goldsmiths.
