Mediating Future
媒合未來
World-renowned Japanese designer Kawasaki Kazoo once said that designer is the only one in an enterprise who can speak for the future users before a product is given birth. The role of today’s designers has gone beyond problem-solvers, but also a navigator who brings future to the present by connecting technologies with humanity.
Human society is facing unprecedented crises but also opportunities. The shadows of depression, the spreading terrorist threats, and the global environmental collapse are just partial facets of our challenges. New inventions like Uber, Alpha Go, and drones entail not only fresh excitement but also ethical confusion and even fears to uncertainties. Design can no longer continue its traditional forward-looking stand as if anything new is always better. It also needs to examine backward from the future to our present time to prevent civilization from ethical derailments.
It’s time for design to learn to be a mediator by translating back-and-forth between now and the future, by deepening dialogues between future design and sustainable society, and by measuring the success of design with more profound human values. Design was born on the move by nature. It’s only truer now that design must become better a movement for the healthier breakthrough of industry and a brighter future for humankind.
廣受敬重的日本設計師川崎和男曾說過，設計師是企業內唯一在產品尚未誕生之際就足以「代表著未來使用者發言」的專業。今日設計所扮演的角色已不僅為人類解決問題的手段，更是接生技術與人文願景的領航者，一個將未來帶到現在的重要專業實踐。
當前人類社會正面臨史無前例的危機與機會，除了經濟大蕭條的陰影籠罩，恐怖主義的幽魂不散，連Pokemon Go, Uber, Alpha Go, Drone這些新生事物都不僅帶來興奮，同時困惑甚至未知恐懼也伴隨而至。設計不再能一意樂觀地從當前的新科技催生未來，更要從未來那端回頭盯緊現在，避免科技偏離倫理。
「如何設計與未來和平相處的現在？」從這樣簡樸的發問開始，新時代的設計必要致力於調解現在與未來的衝突，促成設計與社會間更深刻的願景對話。設計自始便是在時空的場景中穿梭奔走，扮演著媒和未來的角色，期待成就出以人為中心的未來，亦為產業指引出發展契機！
