Karolina Ferenc is a Polish multidisciplinary designer interested in
all aspects of anthropocentrism and the Anthropocene.
She uses design as a tool to question and speculate about
contemporary relationship between the human and naturalized,
emotional or feminie Other. Her projects question our uniqueness
as a specie and explore unexpected, often intimate connections
in human/nonhuman interactions. Narration of her works weaves
between scientific facts, para-fiction and imaginary speculation.
By rooting her approach in empathy and horizontality, her works
resist a dystopian and apocalyptic language in explorations of the future.
Currently Karolina works as designer and head of research at Wise Habit.
Co-founder of design group DRYF .
