How can we use storytelling,

engaging the futures?

Jessica’s five-year-old daughter Chan is in the other room, screaming in broken Mandarin at the Paint-Like-Me app on her tablet as it struggles to customize thousands of open-content art history lessons into one just right for her. NuLook picks up on the tantrum, briefly confused by the presence of another language, and instantly switches the interface on Jessica’s phone into a swirl of Chinese characters. Jessica sighs. These new tools of design may be inclusive, but they can be frustrating as hell when your kid is a different kind of artistic genius (in a different language) every three months. And this is only the beginning. In an era of open- source education, Chan’s curricula and diploma are as likely to be influenced by her family members, future global competitors, and Global Happiness Index score as by grades on her final exams...!

A dystopian story about the future of

synthetic biology told across four “tentpole”

live performances, each representing an archetypal image of

the future.

BRXWe've set up this clinic to offer you a free ByoRenew 2.0 pill.

ByoRenew 2.0 acts as a "vaccine" against BRX, protecting you

from the inside out. In order to beat BRX, we need consumers like

you to be smart and responsible about protecting yourself. Coming

here tonight to take ByoRenew 2.0 was the right choice.

We've also created the SCD

(Sanitation & Containment Division),

a special operations arm of ByoLogyc

dedicated to isolating BRX in the

Toronto community and ending its

exponential spread.

AT THIS POINT, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT BRX IS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS OR FATAL.

AND IT IS SPREADING

BRX is a virus created by the online terrorist organization

known as EXE. They created BRX by sabotaging ByoRenew, a

revolutionary drug created by ByoLogyc that has the potential to

change the world. But while ByoRenew heals and protects, BRX

mutates and destroys. By now, as many as twenty thousand people

worldwide are infected with BRX. Many of these victims are in

Toronto, the centre of the outbreak and home to ByoLogyc's

global operations. Symptoms of BRX are wide-ranging and

unpredictable. Chances are that you already know someone

who is an unwitting victim.

BRX?

BYOLOGYC ISHERE TO HELP

WHAT IS

BRX is difficult to diagnose, as symptoms vary substantially

between patients. This is a result of ByoRenew's unique

XNA-based architecture that enables it to adapt to fit the

needs of individual users. Are you experiencing nasal

congestion? That could be BRX. Are you experiencing a

seizure? That could be BRX too.

Evidence suggests that BRX most commonly targets the

brain, producing symptoms that manifest throughout the

nervous, endocrine, and endocannabinoid systems. But don't

worry too much, the dangers aren't as extreme as they might

seem. You may only experience personality distortion, blurry

vision, a craving for high-calorie food items, and fatigue.

“The Mission Business gave us a view not only into what we want from our new technologies, but why we want it. !It’s one thing to read a science fiction short story about the future or a comic book based on science fact that explores the human implications of science, but it’s very much another sensation when someone hands you a science fiction prototype and asks you to put it in your mouth. !That’s what imagining the future can do. It’s the role that science fiction prototyping can play in the design of the future, the design of all of our tomorrows.”
