Abstract
Techno-imaginaries are produced after individuals interact with media narratives and technical devices, which help to display particular scenarios. In the case of imaginaries of technology, there are projections based on cinema, literature, journalism, and television series, which serve as a guide when establishing technological imaginaries, for example. However, the territory, the city, the immediate context will affect and nuance the narratives of the imagination according to the type of urban experiences among individuals. In this study, the qualitative approach and visual ethnography show how imaginary narratives around the social future and AI are modified by participants in order to negotiate and mitigate the harmful impact that context and technology might have in their lives, in terms of their professional and sociocultural spheres.
