The document discusses the future of interaction design through the lens of Constant’s 'New Babylon', advocating for a world where automation liberates humans from work, allowing for creativity and freedom. It emphasizes the need for personal, thoughtful, and open ideas to shape a better future amidst technological advances. The author calls on individuals to envision and create their own futures rather than being constrained by current paradigms.

- 8. Constant The future doesn’t have to be that way. One of my favourite artists is Constant, originally a painter in the Cobra movement, later a writer/painter with the Situationist and eventually an architect of supposed realities. He is best known for New Babylon, a fi"teen year long project exploring new ways of being.
- 9. New Babylon New Babylon is based on the premises that through automatisation nobody will have to work, and being freed from work, you are also liberated from living close to work. This leaves humanity free to roam the planet, free to unleash unbounded creativity and become Homo Ludens - the playing human.
- 10. New Babylon Constant created a world that leaves anyone free to imagine their own world.
- 11. ART ARCHITECTURE He placed himself in a grey borderland between art and architecture; giving you enough to start thinking but never enough to come to a conclusion.
- 12. New Babylon, perhaps, is not so much a picture of the future as a leitmotif – Constant
- 13. Rather than stipulating building forms, [...] it suggests possibilities – Constant

- 21. 1. make it Personal Any interesting change comes from real people who personally and passionately feel that things can and should be different. It is up to us, the people, to imagine our own futures.
- 22. 2. make it Thoughtful & Visual There's no shortage of opinions, nor is there a shortage of pretty pictures. What we need though are thoughtful ideas presented in a visual manner.
- 23. 3. make it Open Since we cannot think any further than our current culture, we should give our future selfs as many options as possible. Building blocks for thought, ready for endless recombinations in ever stranger ways.
