Speculative Environments

  • Bastian Müller
The series ‘Future Journal’ is a publication which investigates plausible future technologies and environments.

The project ‘Speculative Environments’ lead me discover and investigate forms of speculative design and how it may be applied, and implemented within the field of graphic design. Holistically, the combination of visual and words within the publications come together, not as a means to be answered, but to act as a platform to provoke thought on the topic being addressed. The journal investigates the possible uses of the technology in relation to privacy issues, overpopulation and government monitoring, thereby questioning its possible future technological capabilities and possible effects on society. The study of speculative design is an attempt to provide insights towards alternative techniques for creative exploration and the development of self-initiated projects.
