Step 2. Future Backcasting

Building on the signal analysis and the resulted future vision, we created a backcasted timeline from current time to 2045 to concretize this imagined future history step by step. This process helped us to understand how our future vision might become a reality, and what kind of milestones a single person might encounter in his life to arrive at this future world of 2045 from 2017. This aspect of viewing the world from one person's perspective later becomes our main inspiration for the exhibition design.
