When It’s Too Late We’ll Dance
In 2022 I held a future studies based exhibition in Galleria Kuvitus, Helsinki. The exhibition consisted of these 7 illustrations, one audiovisual installation and an essay written by future researcher Marianna Mäki-Teeri.
Sami Viljanto:
“In the 1960s, the future was seen bright. By the 2000s, we believed we would be traveling by flying cars, living under glass domes on alien planets, or at least underwater. Now, in the 2020s, instead of the horizon, our gaze is on our feet and the discussion about the future is largely focused on dystopias. What kind of future are we creating without utopias? In addition to this core question, the works in the exhibition reflect on e.g. our perception of time, the impact of our history on how we see our future, and understanding of our role in the long chain of humanity.”
