How do the intersections between art and science create new visions of society and of our environment?

This discussion through exploring the merging fields of art, deScience fiction writers created visualizations of ideas for alternate worlds and realities – forcing us to look at our own anew. How does our imagining of the future effect our reality today and our future realities?
