Spec Archive

A constantly growing archive about speculative artefacts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The idea of a speculative archive came up during my work with social scientists from 2014-2017. It found its origin in the method Spec Icons developed by me. Goal is to generate ideas with focus on new technology. It was tested many times during creative workshops in the field of foresight and by one of the largest institutions of applied research in Germany. Perfect for innovation consultants, labs, incubators, accelerators and all who need a great tool for ideation processes.

If that sounds great to you, then let's create a personal toolkit for your processes! me@sandrariedel.com
