Primo Piano LivinGallery / Our Future Imagined: la visione immaginata e dipinta, di un futuro (quasi) perfetto / Jolanda Jansen (DAI, 2007) a.o.

| tag: Salento

Art dies without imagination. The past, present and future have always been of interest to artists. This exhibition presents a systematic overview of possible scenarios of an almost perfect future, where the question is, to paraphrase J.Maddox: "What remains to be found out?". Of course, the history of the future is not written yet and our present is certainly different from the future imagined half a century ago. Cinema and literature have often theorized about the future. In the film Blade Runner, which is based on a novel by Philip K. Dick, the future begins in 2019 with a world governed by codes of computer science and bioengineering. Today reality exceeds what many people imagined it would be, and things that once seemed impossible can be achieved sooner than we think.
