About
Baumgartner_10757
Baumgartner's work explores potential futures where personal augmentation and encroaching surveillance technologies intersect with individual liberties. The inherent tension between technological progress and personal privacy forms the core of the investigations. Employing a method grounded in rigorous scenario planning, various pathways, the evolution of these forces are charted to identify their potential consequences. Focus is centered on how individuals adapt to, resist, or are potentially reshaped by the intricate web of interconnected systems, focusing on the consequences instead of celebrating the possibilities. This work examines the ephemeral, transient nature of an individual's 'zone of control' that gets affected in many of the future worlds. A consistent goal is to explore the hidden vulnerabilities, trade-offs, and unintended societal shifts that may emerge, and examine how they are linked with the larger discussion on personal augmentation and its implications. The ultimate is not to envision that the future could potentially be like this, highlighting the importance of individual's control over their lives and the protection of their data in future worlds. The envisioned futures hope to foster the audiences with a critical perspective, prompting a deeper evaluation of the assumed trajectories towards greater individual integration the web of technology.
