We are using technology and why shouldn’t we? Technology helps us in so many ways, and society is built on technology. I mean, banking, communication - in fact a lot of everyday life is based on or uses technological solutions. But what if we lose the control, what if the smartphones, our computers, software and apps start to reprogram themselves. What if the dating apps decide that you don’t have a symmetrical enough face for their service, or if the main server in a bank decide that you don’t deserve your money – because you are to angry, to stupid or not suitable for their service.
The judge is an example of a service that has crossed our borders; it can no longer be programmed, it only corresponds to itself and it is only concerned about giving people a score.

CoFUTURES is an international research group working on contemporary global futurisms, science fiction, and
futures thinking. We use science fiction, speculative thinking, and futures literacy to address the planetary
challenges of our time: climate change, technological change, and demographic change.
CoFUTURES believes that to better understand the future, be it of humanity, of other species, of technology, or
the planet, we must engage with how people think with futures around the world. Our goal is to promote better
connections between local imaginaries and global imaginaries in addressing planetary challenges.

The programme of Interior Architecture and Furniture Design is part of the multidisciplinary Oslo National Academy of the Arts. We find this set up very inspiring and fruitful for our agenda, where our programme is in-between several disciplines, taking advantages of the rich dialogue with multiple voices.
Our common agenda is to work with the social space and with the objects and things related to it. We see this as a framework of our society’s cultures that we wish to engage with. We eschew of making fixed definition of our disciplines, but rather challenge the students to investigate the peripheries.
Our pedagogical approach is based on a critical dialogue and collaborative learning. The ideology is to prepare our students for the uncertain future, to be able to explore those emerging territories with professional skills.
