How - if at all - do we as a society want to digitalise democracy? Dezentrum – a Think & Do Tank for Digital Transformation and Society – dealt with this question on the occasion of the Foundation for Technology Assessment TA-SWISS project call. In their two-phase study, they tried to make various futures ascertainable and thus make the discourse on digitalisation and democracy more publicly accessible. In Phase I, desirable future scenarios for the year 2050 were developed using scenario techniques.

Phase II took place from October 2020 to January 2021 and was developed in close cooperation with Studio Porto. The scenarios identified in Phase I were translated by Jeannie Schneider from Dezentrum into three short stories. For each story, I produced a speculative artefact which, as exhibition and visual objects, make these futures tangible through their futuristic appearance.
