Back to the Futurologists

Following our sponsorship of November’s fascinating inaugural If Conference, a crack team of Scriberia artists has been producing illustrations for each of the 36 talks that took place. The plan is to team up with our friends at Intelligence Squared publish these later in the year, but in the meantime, here’s a sneak preview. The work we’ve done for these takes the principles of live scribing but allows a little more time and space for expression. It’s fantastic to see such a range of styles and approaches gathered under the Scriberian flag(!?) and testament to the diverse talents of the team that’s been developing here over the last year.
