- How does the Voyager Golden Record reflect our societal culture, values, worldview, power structures?

- What could be the content of a new future Golden Record?

- What levels of inequality are there and how does this reflect power structures?

- What is the role of identities within power structures? 

- How would a cyborg society look like in terms of social structures?

- How is (sexual) identity related to the concept of cyborgs?

- Is our identity already fractured?

-How can science fiction / designing alternative realities / imagination help us get insight into how our system works and could change?

- Is the majority of contemporary sciencefiction "Trans" or "Post" humanistic regarding the future?

Enhancing Homo sapiens, improving sensory abilities and or interfaces with the digital, often through technological advancement and application, is the passage of becoming post human

Anti-humanism, "humanity" should be rejected as historically relative

Utopia as Method - The Imaginary Reconstitution of Society

‘Perhaps in order to be able to write an utopia we need to think yinly.’
- Le Guin

Een verkenning van de yin-waarde en van yin-eigenschappen bevordert de bewustwording dat dingen anders kunnen. Dat de manier waarop onze maatschappij vandaag de dag functioneert niet permanent of universeel is, en belangrijker nog, dat ze niet noodzakelijk is.
