313 - Digging into the Future: The Art of Future Archaeology with Markus Iofecea
Share your thoughts about our conversation!
Can we explore the future as if it were an archaeological site? Instead of predicting trends or following hype cycles, future archaeologist Markus Iofcea uncovers artifacts - fragments of possible futures - that help us rethink what’s to come.
Future archaeologist, co-author of the book Zurück zur Zukunft, and all-round inspiring mind, Markus Iofcea, is here to tell us that yes, the future can be ours to create! He digs in the future to see what treasures he can find in its vast archeological site - except his artefacts aren’t the rare remnants of a civilisation gone-by, but rather inventions we are yet to make. Inventions that could change the world!
From there, he hypothesises his discoveries infinitely - helping organisations to philosophically explore contexts, variations and parameters to test if an innovation will work well beyond our current, limiting reality.
This was one of those rare, fascinating conversations that you won’t want to miss - thank you for setting my mind alight, Markus!
Find out about:
- What future archaeology is and how Markus explores the possibilities of the future
- Future artefacts: what they are, how to dig them out, and how to innovate them
- The importance of removing an artefact from our current context to prepare for the unknown
- Why we must ‘dig’ at an innovation for as long as possible, interrogating its logical components
- How Markus helps the corporate world to excavate innovations, free from limitations and predictions
