If the global pandemic has taught us something other than the fragility of human lives, it is the potential we have as a species to rapidly and collectively change our way of being.

Whether we like it or not, and despite any physical borders we may try to build, our world is becoming more intermingled than ever as technological inventions rapidly close the time and space gaps across the globe. We overlap, we pivot, we evolve after taking in what we absorb around us; humans are meant to be various and mutable, and so should our environments and identities be.

This thesis intends to explore, develop and experiment with a new set of vocabulary and cognitive frameworks by studying the population of Culture 3.0, ultimately speculating for a new communications design pedagogy. If a more iterative and tolerant communications system may be imagined and instantiated — even just to momentarily jolt its audience into questioning their assumptions about identities — it may give us yet another opportunity to building a more collective and sustainable future human communities.
