We work with people from a range of disciplines to develop rich, immersive storyworlds that can inspire real life change.
The worlds we develop assume humanity has avoided the worst of ecological catastrophe while creating a world that serves for flourishing of life and consciousness.
We ground the storyworlds design process on on people, projects and events that exist already. By tracing the trajectory from the present into positive futures we inspire writers, product designers, architects, policy makers, philanthropists…. to participate in bringing the worlds we want into reality.
We facilitate storyworld design workshops with groups to get a taste of the possble worlds could build if our imagination and humanity was granted agency. These are taster sessions to inspire rather than deep dives for work product. They can be run with any group that is looking to unite around a common desired future, from writers, to policymakers, to architects.
We consult on new and existing projects to help set the stories in positive future storyworlds that are credible and compelling while also helping to drive drama. This is best for the writer or team working on a project. It can be early on or during the script editing process.
We work with teams to develop storyworlds before they’ve started the process of creating narrative. In this way the world becomes a sustainable resource they can draw on time and time again for different creative outputs.
Gustavo Montes de Oca facilitates the workshops and leads the storyworld design. He is a storyworld designer, writer, and futurist who also works to bring the world he hopes for into reality through real life projects. He currently works on community energy and electric transport cooperatives, decentralised science, and woodland management for biodiversity and human yields. He started sensing signals and turning them into scenarios with Forum for the Future, training at the government Foresight Unit, but now futures as part of a worldwide network of “multiplayer maximalists” at radar.xyz .
