the not-yet: dreams, reveries, and hope in an unfinished world

what if our dreams were not just nocturnal illusions, but systems already in motion? for so long, we have treated dreaming as a nocturnal retreat, a subconscious escape from a waking world that feels too rigid or overwhelming. but if the world is truly unfinished, our dreams and reveries are far more potent. they become our 'anticipatory consciousness,' our way of reaching out and shaping the 'not-yet'. they are not a flight from reality, but an active, radical rehearsal for impending material realities.

utopia, applied, or, why we have to change to stay the same

what if utopia was never a destination, but a method? in an era of algorithmic noise, designboom returns to the intersection of imagination and progress. for the first chapter of our new journey, we are examining utopia’s role in the past, present and future, as a way of envisioning a better way of being: with ourselves, with each other, and with the non-human entities that share our planet.
