The REFLEXICOVID is a REFLEXICON spin-off, based on the Introspeculation game mode.

REFLEXICOVID builds on the reflexive posture of the game to invite designers to think about how DESIGN FUTURES words can relate to the Covid-19 plural crisis. Indeed, what is one of the major disruptions of the 21st century is not only a public health crisis, but also economic and social ones.

REFLEXICOVID generates reflexive combinations on DESIGN FUTURES and Covid-19 stakes.

REFLEXICOVID is a reflexive exploration, in the light of FUTURES DESIGN terms, to (re)think what are designers’ roles, postures and actions and during the Covid-19 crisis and building post-Covid-19 perspectives. It questions how FUTURES DESIGN and DESIGN FUTURES LITERACIES can be linked or disconnected to Covid-19 challenges and shocks: lockdown, social distancing, invisible workers, improvised healthcare solutions.

As a reflexive tool, REFLEXICOVID doesn’t provide any answer or solution. Instead, it seeks to help designers in standing back and then deciding what they can do, should do or avoid to do in these uncertain times.
