perhaps even have already entered) an era where we are able to
print 3D objects at our desks, make and share laser-cut gifts
for friends, and use off-the-shelf tools to plug these creations
into the web and have them send status updates on our behalf. We
have some commonly-held visions of the future, but what could
our very wildest dreams (and nightmares) look like, beyond the
cliché of the flying car? What answers can we find in
speculative design? Our expert guests will explore these
questions in collaboration with the audience in a hands-on,

In this book Spuybroek argues that we must "undo" the twentieth
century – the age in which the sublime turned from an art
category into a technical reality. This leads him to the
aesthetical insights of the nineteenth-century English art
critic John Ruskin, from which he distils pointers for our time.<o:p></o:p></span></font>
