Distributed Agency, Design's Potentiality

Tom Holert's exploration delves into the transformative potential of design, challenging conventional frameworks and envisioning a post-capitalist paradigm. Together with Jesko Fezer and Matthias Görlich, he examines how design can act as a catalyst for social change, moving beyond traditional narratives to reveal its latent capabilities in shaping new forms of agency and interaction.

Through a nuanced analysis of contemporary design practices, the authors invite readers to reconsider the role of design in a society increasingly marked by complexity and interdependence. They argue for a reconceptualization of design that embraces diversity and collaboration, thus opening pathways for imaginative solutions that reflect the evolving nature of human experience and communal identity.
