Motivated by the acceleration of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, www.remotefutures.work aims to spark reflection on future work life. Based on extensive research we developed four future scenarios in order to make possible remote working realities more tangible and imaginable. In each scenario a persona from 2030 gives an account of their work life which is accompanied by artefacts.

The future artefacts that accompany the narratives aim to facilitate and foster imagination and allow for speculation about the world they might belong to.

I juryens motivering stod: "In their graduation project Remote Futures, Lunia Anais D’Ambrosio and Elena Cornelia Bauer deal with a highly topical issue, namely remote work. Their solution is an excellent example of futures design that provides an idea of what the future work situation may look like for the ever-increasing proportion of us who do not necessarily work in a physical workplace. Through thorough research and strong argumentation, they create a very useful foundation, which they convincingly unfold in an exciting visual expression.

The project is part of the Sharing Futures collaboration between Designmuseum Denmark, Bespoke CPH and the Royal Danish Academy."
