My work focuses on the converging speculative dynamics of the tech industry and finance, exploring how uncertainty is instrumentalised, and how imagination—used as a vehicle to navigate the not-yet-known—is shaped by powerful actors to capture future visions and steer present behaviour. This inquiry has led me to examine how Crypto Technologies, the Venture Capital industry and Artificial Intelligence contribute to a technocratic transition and the erosion of democratic institutions.

In response to these dynamics, I collaborate with cultural, public and academic institutions to imagine and develop ecosocial and postgrowth futures. I do this through my work as a design researcher. I’m the co-founder of Becoming, a futures design studio, and member of the transition design cooperative Holon.

My research encompasses empirical, speculative and participatory methods, as well as theory-fiction approaches. The outcomes of my work include writing, installations, video essays, inventive methods, talks, seminars, workshops and teaching.

As a PhD candidate at the Tecnopolitica research unit of the Open University of Catalonia, I developed the concept of sociotechnical fictions, which are forms of fiction produced within science and technology frameworks. These fictions make emerging technologies intelligible and desirable, and therefore they participate in the material construction of reality. Through Engineering Fiction, I explore sociotechnical fictions through artistic research and explore the research programme that I call Science, Technology and Fiction(al) Studies.

Along with other European scholars, I co-founded Hype Studies, an emergent and transdisciplinary research arena aimed at investigating hype as a force influencing economic dynamics, attention flows, political agendas, media narratives and technological development.

Based in Barcelona, I lecture on Science and Technology Studies, as well as critical and speculative design across several undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at Open University of Catalunya, ELISAVA and ESCAC (the Cinema School of Catalonia). I have also collaborated with MACBA, CCCB, the Cosmocaixa and Sónar +D (Barcelona), STRP (Eindhoven), Sandberg Institute (Amsterdam), The New School and Columbia University (New York), and Matadero and Medialab Prado (Madrid) among others. I co-curated the exhibition Design Does at the Design Museum of Barcelona in 2018 and have written tens of public and academic publications.
