Imaginaries Lab Details
How we imagine affects how we understand the world, how we live, and what we see as possible in our collective futures, with consequences for sustainability, society, our relationships with technology, and our everyday lives.At the Imaginaries Lab, a new (2017—) research studio, we believe that humanity needs tools to enable new ways of understanding and imagining, and new ways to live, that provide more equitable socially and environmentally sustainable futures. We create those tools through developing creative research methods, adapted from those used in design practice, and explore their use in a variety of cross-disciplinary contexts.A team of Master's, PhD and undergraduate student research assistants are working with Assistant Professor Dan Lockton to build on his international research track record around interaction design for behavior change. We are using creative approaches to envision alternative ways of thinking and living, now and in the future, to inform interdisciplinary academic research and practical applications for social and environmental benefit. The group's goal is to become a world-leading center for this kind of research, collaborating internationally and across disciplines to support transformative innovation. We carry out research projects, teach studio classes, publish and run workshops internationally, and build collaborations externally and within Carnegie Mellon.
