Minor Design Activism: Prompting Change from Within

Abstract

October 01 2015 Minor Design Activism: Prompting Change from Within Tau Ulv Lenskjold, Tau Ulv Lenskjold Tau Ulv Lenskjold holds a PhD in Interaction Design from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Design. His current research follows two avenues: The first investigates how speculative design practices engage with political and societal issues, as well as traces the historical precursors for contemporary speculative design. The second avenue concerns a post-antropocentric re-articulation of design in theory and practice—in particular, with regard to experimental and interventionist design strategies.
