Abstract

This paper introduces the “Future Archeologies Method” as a novel approach for creating preposterous Artifacts from the Future, enhancing speculative imagination, and fostering critical thinking. Through exploring preposterous futures it calls for engaging with the unexpected and venturing beyond the possible. The four-step “Future Archeologies Method” proposes a guided approach for creating artifacts-from-the-future, progressing from a tactile exploration of “Future Mystery Bag” to scenario development, then to future artifacts, and finally to critical reflection. The method was tested during a design workshop, providing valuable insights for researchers and practitioners. This paper contributes to the field of Information Systems and Future Studies by offering novel strategies for engaging with speculative futures.
