Gijs de Boer

Hi, I am Gijs, a 23 year old idealistic generalist. Where technology and society overlap is my home. In my design bachelor I spend more time reflecting than making, so I choose a philosophy master. I believe in conscious change as the key to a desirable future. That is, embracing technology’s blesses but minding its implications. I hope to contribute by opening the black box of technology for the values from us, citizens of spaceship earth.

For Biopolitics I will focus on developments in design. Speculative biodesigners are experimenting with the design of life itself. Through their products, they can open the debate on technology
