Foresight, Felt
A foresight paper on Europe's circular economy, given form.
The research was already done, eighty-five thousand jobs created, seven hundred and fifty-six thousand lost on the other side of the world. A finding sharp enough to shift a policy conversation, sitting inside a PDF most people would never open.
This is what HeliosTree builds: the form that lets a finding move. Whether the source is a research paper, a strategy held alone for too long, or a vision a team has been circling without landing — the work is the same. Translate what is already true into something a room can feel, decide from, and remember.
RESONANCE, MAPPED
Bratislava workshop on the future of education, the room's emerging voice rendered as film.
Made for a working session on teenagers, education, and emotional foresight — convened by Erasmus+ and YouthWatch.
The film does not document the workshop. It anticipates it: a sense of where the room might want to go, returned as something the room could watch together.
This is one of the modes HeliosTree works in — listening for what is already alive in a group and giving it back in a form the group recognizes faster than language alone would allow. A film as a mirror, not a message.
Produced in preparation for the YouthWatch Futures Innovation LAB — a three-day futures workshop in Bratislava, Slovakia. Funded by Erasmus+ / European Union.
The FSRM was introduced at the Futures4Europe Conference, Vienna, May 2025 – Exploring Future-Oriented Collective Intelligence, organized by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and featured at the First International Conference on AI-based Media Innovation (AIMEDIA 2025) in Venice.
THE METHOD, IN MOTION
First pilot of the Future Self Resonance Framework.
She sits with their own near-future self — not as a strategy exercise, but as a felt encounter. The Future Self Resonance Framework moves across individual conversations, somatic listening, and AI-generated scenario film to produce something the person did not arrive with: a vision of who they are becoming, in a form their body recognizes as theirs.
This is the engine underneath HeliosTree's work. The research films, the workshop films, the team vision films — all of them run on this method, scaled to a different room.
What you are watching is a teaser of what it looks like when one person meets it for the first time.
