Telstar Shopping Network, 2014

The Extrapolation Factory was invited by Z33 to run a two day futures workshop.  With access to a nearby A/V studio, this workshop became the platform to launch a new home-shopping network called "Telstar."  Over the course of the workshop, participants envisioned future artifacts and then created short advertisements to sell their products.
