This project makes the future social and technological life as the main research object, and develops an interdisciplinary and cross-media course with problem-oriented mechanism. The course lays stress on the interaction and mutual reference of art creation, technology research and development and design practice, performs systematic combination of critical writing and scheme design, focuses on how to actively explore the future form in the dualistic speculative framework of art and science and technology and finally puts forward a systematic scheme with both innovative concepts and applied logics.
