BIOimaginarium™ 

Catalysing understanding of how bio-innovation trajectories may disrupt industry, society, and environment, our BIOimaginarium™ is designed to help your business imagine ways in which both your sector and the world at large may respond to emerging, anticipated, and other possible futures.

Working with media including print, digital, mixed and hybrid publishing, film, audio, and installation, we explore imagined biofutures through speculative fiction read, heard, seen, and otherwise sensed and experienced.

Our services include authoring fictions, scenarios, scripts, and other content formats in flash, short, and feature-length, working both independently and collaboratively, and remotely and in-house.

Informed by state-of-the-knowledge understanding of issues scientific, technical, and commercial, our BIOimaginarium™ draws on the language, tools, and methods of the written, visual, audio, and performance arts.
