Atlas of Weak Signals¶
A weak signal is an indicator to identify a change in the future with little or no impact on the present, but with the potential to lead to the identification of major impact events. They set trends and indicate certain directions and by that draw up future scenarios. A weak signal can be defined as a trend before the trend itself becomes a relevant source of future research.
Exercise 01¶
During the site visits and our play with the cards we did a tarot pick for 5 cards which are;
Anarch-Governence,
Rural Punk,
Restorative Justice,
Ancestoral Knowledge,
Avatarts.
During the ideation about the intersection of the cards we leaned more towards to Anarchy, Burning, Digitalization, Borders of Legality…
Eventually, our weak signal is Digital Squatting!
Exercise 02¶
During the second exercise we drew 3 signals, 1 opportunity and 1 trigger.
Main idea was on the post-capitalist care, and the other signals were border regimes, creative dissent and, boredom and laziness. We all tied up our ideas to our trigger; Kit. The kit involves 3 main things; Dopamine patches, cryptocurrency share and, vertical farming kit.
Exercise 03¶
New week signals, random triggers and opportunity areas.
