On 19 October 2021, we participated in the Up Close & Personal talk show organized by Design United for the DDW21. We discussed how, with “Future Frictions“, we explore alternative forms of engagement to reflect on smart city futures. It was a wonderful experience to be there, and to be inspired by very interesting projects like the Shuttercam and Space for Food, the expert discussions, and the very skilled live-cartoonist. Have a look!
