@ARTICLE{10.21494/ISTE.OP.2023.0948, TITLE={Technologies in audiovisual fictions – matrices or limits for innovation?}, AUTHOR={Thomas Michaud, }, JOURNAL={Technology and Innovation}, VOLUME={8}, NUMBER={Issue 2}, YEAR={2023}, URL={https://www.openscience.fr/Technologies-in-audiovisual-fictions-matrices-or-limits-for-innovation}, DOI={10.21494/ISTE.OP.2023.0948}, ISSN={2399-8571}, ABSTRACT={In this new issue of Technology and Innovation, five articles question the contribution of audiovisual fiction to the world of technological imagination. Innovation processes take advantage of these fictional representations to shed light on the ethics of future engineers, but also of practitioners, whether they are of the military or researchers in the telecommunications sector. Technology in science fiction is ambivalent, often depicting the worst in a dystopian form, whilst also influencing innovators, whose productions are not always at the service of sustainable development. A question also guides this issue: is audiovisual fiction at the service of ethical, sustainable innovation, or does it risk leading the strategists of capitalism and R&D towards desires that will cause harm to the human race?}}
