Abstract:

What If...we could farm medical products on our bodies? What If...meat could be grown in laboratories without harming animals? What If...we lived in a society where our every thought was public? These are just some of the questions asked in the What If exhibition at Science Gallery in Dublin, which probed the space between reality and the impossible and where designers meet scientists to explore the future. The What If exhibition was curated by Professor Anthony Dunne and Professor Fiona Raby and featured a range of works by designers who have explored everything from using animals as life support machines, through to what happens in a society where machines can read your every emotion.
