Expedition Æqualis is an ongoing, interdisciplinary design-research project by Dutch Invertuals in collaboration with The Future Laboratory, Edhv and Reon Brand (Philips Experience Design). Together, we have embarked on a three-year transformative exploration towards an eco-centric future where humans are, and want to be, part of a healthy and balanced ecosystem.
Expedition Æqualis
The quest of Expedition Æqualis is to employ design as a creative force to inspire and support humanity to transition to an eco-centric existence. Expedition Æqualis envisions a future in which diverse species can coexist, flourish and contribute to mutual benefits, shared meaning and resilience.
‘A design exploration
for transitioning
humanity towards an
eco-centric future.’
In this journey, we bridge both the physical and digital world, so that they can benefit from each other.
We utilize the endless possibilities of web3 technology to gain a better understanding of nature’s ingenuity and characteristics, and to discover how we can positively integrate its principles into future building blocks. Collaborating with designers, thinkers and other makers, we will proceed by applying this knowledge in the physical realm.
