A bag of hope. A bag of rebirth.
You are at the heart of it. We need you. We seed our power to you!
Who was the group?
The participants were professionals from different backgrounds who attended our Practical Foresight Skills for Everyone Workshop (16/17 July 2024).
What is the product/service/experience?
The Vital-I-Seed Pouch is the artefact sent from the world created in this workshop to show the generation living in the present how value has changed and placed on what matters and how nature has been restored. Individuals living in this world have achieved food security and have grown into a worldwide mycelium network called the Fringe. The pouch is a way to build and share knowledge and to transact (transfer and share value) in this new world.
This object combines natural resources available at the time to create a valuable heirloom-like pouch. Like a money bag, it carries the currency of the time, seeds. It explores the ideas of ownership while tapping into ideas of rebirth, regeneration and sustainability.
What were they exploring?
The participants explored the convergence of food security and the splinternet. The setting of the story ends with the idea of redefined value. The focus moves from money as the centre of society to knowledge and healthful living (represented by seeds which the people barter). The “underground” poor movement (the Fringe) becomes the saviour of the languishing inbred rich who live within the walls of the gated communities known as the Citadel.
The world outside of the walls of the gated communities regenerates and heals. The foraging wanderers usher in a new era – a new civilisation where nature and humanity co-exist equally in an intentional and symbiotic relationship.
What trends did they start with?
The participants began exploring the trend of food security (equitable access to nutritional food) and the splinternet (a fragmented Internet).
Who is the product meant to help?
This pouch is for everyone. It is for anyone who can’t afford seeds or wants to carry their seeds as they travel. It is for future generations.
