Uncertainty Playground

Uncertainty Playground at London College of Communication considered how design can define, address and make meaning from the ambiguities and uncertainties that we currently face. The viewers could discover 4 exhibitions and collateral events that explored the role of design research and practice in imagining, critiquing and shaping potential futures.

Possible/Probable Worlds deconstructed the ideas behind Joseph Voros’ ‘Futures Cone’ and proposed a range of possible futures through interactive installations; S*PARK explored eco-social futures and imagination through community and collaborative design interventions at Elephant Park and LCC, while FutureMakers created a platform for debate around making and using uncertainty as a form of enquiry within the context of a co-created makerspace. The viewers could enter Room 2084 to discover a living archive, stimulating discussion around how and why we preserve the past and present for future generations*

Uncertainty Playground was part of London Design Festival.

For this identity Grafa worked closely with the Dean of Design. We decided to adopt a multimedia approach based on the words and research papers submitted before the event. These composed a background to all the assets on top of which a layer of information was placed.
