"The Center for Design and Geopolitics: Initial Work" by Benjamin Bratton, Associate Professor, Visual Arts; Director, Center for Design and Geopolitics, Calit2

The Center for Design and Geopolitics is an interdisciplinary think-tank based at Calit2 and the University of California, San Diego that works to articulate and prototype speculative responses to emergent geopolitical complexities posed by planetary-scale computation and ecological governance. D:GP's focus is less on applying design at a geopolitical scale, than on understanding the domain of the geopolitical as itself a design problem. Global institutions of governance, economy, infrastructure, language, and ecology are inherited from earlier modernities, and not only can be redesigned but cannot not be redesigned. The Center's policy program advances that a viable alter-globalization and a multipolar cosmopolitanism depend on how we design, how we design depends on how we govern, and how we govern depends on the models we invent.
