Based on five years of interdisciplinary collaboration, the FluxKit for Energy Transition is a toolbox to help citizens, policy makers, community organizers, engineers and scientists, teachers, and students think about energy transition as not simply a technological issue, but a social and cultural shift.
In November 2022, the Speculative Energy Futures team showcased and animated the FluxKit for Energy Transition in St. Gallen, Switzerland, where they were the first visiting artists-in-residence at SQUARE—the University of St. Gallen’s interdisciplinary space dedicated to fostering dialogue between science, society, business, politics, and culture. During a two-week residency, Dr. Wilson was named Visiting Professor in The School of Humanities and Social Sciences, teaching a block course related to their Special Topics in Energy series.
Installing elements of The FluxKit for Energy Transition throughout SQUARE’s open, light-filled atrium, provided students, faculty, and community members with access to an interactive exhibition, workshops, and collaborative projects that showcase the importance of art in the conversation around energy transition and policy shifts.
