  • Question: How would a near-future landscape* from your city/village look like if the state, market entities, and civil society prioritize the commons instead of profit maximization?

    To answer this question, you need to create/edit a picture either by hand or using your PC, which should depict the near-term future, i.e., the next 15-25 years. 

    You need to produce a 3-6 minute long video featuring yourself elaborating on your picture. I highly recommend that you review all of the key points covered in our classes and try to incorporate them into your near-future landscape discussion. The more insights and arguments from the course you incorporate, the better.

    The deadline for sending your video link to me (Vasilis) is on May 20th, 20:00 Estonian time. AI can be used for the visuals but not for the voice.

    Do not worry about your artistic skills! We are all artists!

    *A ‘near-future landscape’ (Slaughter, 1997) is a way of representing views of the near future in ways that non-specialists can understand by using visual images to highlight basic choices and to represent the results of exploring the near-term future. More info here.
