Future Worlds: Attunements is a group exhibition of fifteen students from our MA Information Experience Design. All works were produced as part of a brief with the same title, delivered in September 2023.
Politics and Identity. Ecology and Climate. Technology and culture. Time. These are some of our Earthling systems that we are part of in ways so complex that it becomes impossible for the human mind to grasp. Despite this impossibility, in Attunements we embrace these systems and their inherited complexity, we hover above them, examining, deconstructing, searching and researching. We slowly dive deep, scaling down, interpreting and gaining focus. And as we land, we situate our knowledges before scaling ahead, worldbuild and (un)speculate.
In doing so, we recognise the human as an integral part of a lively systemic material existence. Only by acknowledging and addressing these interdependencies, will we achieve a more harmonious relationship with more-than-human entities, capable of sustaining life on Earth. We become humble and empathic. We attune.
Through moving image, physical artefacts and installations, Attunements showcases a series of creative interpretations of the different systems mentioned above. These are thought experiments, prototypes and sketches of ideas that don’t intend to put forward solutions, but rather to make us think about our present realities.
Private View: 2pm, 26 April
