“In today’s complex and chaotic world, rapid changes in the modern global landscape highlight the fragility of once-stable systems. The anxiety arising from predictions of a difficult future manifests in a formless manner, with scattered and complex changes that are hard to comprehend. These profoundly impact people’s lifestyles and daily routines. Reflecting on and questioning these changes is a crucial opportunity to understand our rapidly evolving world.
To describe the unpredictable nature of the current world, its volatility, structural fragility, anxiety about the future, the irrationality of events, and the overwhelming influx of incomprehensible information, American futurist Jamais Cascio introduced the concept of BANI as a framework for understanding the characteristics of our present-day fragile world. BANI is derived from Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible, reflecting the various challenges humans face in a world filled with anxiety and unpredictability.
The 13th International Arts & Design Symposium 2025: BANI WORLD invites viewers to contemplate the current state of society, the fragility humans face, the uncertainty-filled world, and the consequences of decisions with unpredictable outcomes. This is to understand new possibilities that may lead to change and to prepare for adapting to the inevitable new environment.”
