Linear Extension focuses on the issues of our environment in the process of development, through the process of dialogical aesthetics. Dialogical Aesthetics is the creative process that shapes an aesthetic by using both tangible and intangible human capacities through collaborative experiences, community building, and collective knowledge production.
This participatory workshop explored our imagination towards a sustainable future and how we can employ both economic and technological advancement for preserving our natural environment and habitats. This also expanded our understanding of how transformative thinking can contribute to the imagination of an equitable future.
