Futures Garden

EU Policy Lab, Joint Research Centre, European Commission

What if we could embody other intelligent beings - their experience, their sensory world, their “umwelt”? What if our society focused on introspection and emotions to shape our choices?

Futures Garden explores alternative futures using fictional artefacts to inspire debate about Europe. It features two themes: "Dealing with future selves," focusing on new ways of being and technologies that enhance self-reflection and community, and "Extending human perception to new scales," which broadens our understanding of non-human intelligences and communication, encouraging a shift from human-centric views to a deeper appreciation of Earth's diverse life.
