Codesign with more-than-humans: toward a meta co-design tool for human-non-human collaborations

Abstract What does more-than-human mean? How can we, as humans, understand that our ecology is only one of the many do exist within world? Furthermore, in which way should we step aside to let all ecological actors exercise their agency? And, more specifically, what be role design and designers tackling complex issues contributing a major shift thoughts? These questions fostered reflection on relation between possible futures practice itself set basis for creation provotype. A provotype (from “ provo cation” “proto type ”) conceptual product or an artifact whose objective foster reflections provoke discussions mainly concerning social environmental sustainability, innovations, technologies, leaving gaps filled with audience imagination. The research reported this contribution deals fall under umbrella topic alternative biopolitics future scenarios: how co-design actors? In symbiosis different entities achieved? meaning interspecies justice, steps follow fulfill it? finally, maybe most significant question focus on: communication fostered? designed consists fictional event (“The first Multispecies Symposium”) takes place 2100, further helped researchers opening new made it experiment participatory finalize tool used share expand about without hierarchies, not human-centered, sustainable progress hope, participative futures.
