An adapted and now publicly-available template for making your own protocol design fiction, similar to what we used to create South Beast Asia
The Khlongs & Subaks workshop (where South Beast Asia was born) was the first protocol design fiction workshop in this particular combination that we know of.
What’s protocol design fiction?
Inspired by design fiction but with a protocol-first lens, protocol design fiction is about imagining new possible worlds, shaped by strange new rules, and made tangible through the design of fictional artifacts (which can take the form of institutions, policies, and roles, not just objects or technologies).
For our workshop, we created a custom Protocol Design Fiction Canvas (or Canvas / PDF Canvas for short), which we used in the making of the world and materials you now see on this site as South Beast Asia.
We think it worked quite well for us — so we’ve decided to adapt and share a copy below for broader use.
You can find the PDF Canvas below, or via this link.
It’s in a Google Doc format (which you can duplicate or save to your own drive for your own use) with multiple tabs:
Protocol Design Fiction Canvas (V0.625)
Protocol Design Fiction Canvas (V0.625)
Enjoy, and feel free to let us know if you find the Canvas useful, or if you have suggestions for further iterations.
