What's Next: 2025

Updated: Jan 11

In 2025, we will explore Augmented Reality (AR), expand our use of animation, and integrate Open-Space Technology into our work and offerings. As the world evolves, we are also committed to learning and changing.


The video, captured in Adobe Aero, integrates layered image files and an animated GIF that plays audio after a short delay.


The AR (as seen in the video above) is a powerful tool that allows us to overlay digital objects in the real world, fostering curiosity and play, particularly in the context of learning and sharing knowledge. However, we are acutely aware of the digital divide, which is widening with the increasing adoption of, most recently, Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence. As we embrace these emerging technologies, we are committed to staying informed about new advancements while being mindful of their accessibility. Our goal will always be to apply new technologies inclusively and not alienate those with limited or no access to such tools.


Our next exploration will be into animation. While our use of animation has primarily been time-lapse videos and GIFs, we plan to broaden our skills over the next year. As we become more familiar with AR, we plan to learn other programs and methods to refine our animation capabilities and create more dynamic content.


Lastly, there is Open-Space Technology, a liberating structure that lets participants set the agenda, propose ideas, and collaborate on solutions to tackle challenges while ensuring everyone has a voice. At the end of 2024, we collaborated with April Jefferson, Corp, and facilitated an open space event for 12 executive leaders and their managers. As we continue into 2025, we have more events planned. Integrating tools like open space is part of our strategy for fostering collaboration and innovation.  This approach encourages active participation and illuminates diverse perspectives, thus leading to more comprehensive solutions.


Again, thanks for choosing The Social Art Complex. We would love to hear your ideas and thoughts on AR, animation, open space, or anything else you might have. Your feedback is important to us and will help us shape these initiatives to better meet your needs. Please leave a comment below.
