Description

The Future Machine is Coming...

Join the Future Machine design team at Furtherfield Commons in Finsbury Park to build a new artwork that will help us to respond to environmental change... as the future unfolds.

Sign up for the final 2 workshops that will involve thinking about the future (in response to environmental change) to design and build the Future Machine, for it's launch at Furtherfield Gallery in Finsbury Park, on Saturday October 12th 2019. Once the Future Machine is launched it is due to tour around England, returning again to Finsbury Park in October 2020 and 2021 to witness Finsbury Park as the future unfolds.

The workshops are designed to bring together people with different views on environmental change and the future, including all ages from 11+ - everyone is welcome! The workshops will involve talking, thinking, making things with all kinds of arts and craft materials, as well as using interactive technology and scientific sensors. You are welcome to sign up to 1 or both of the workshops, you don't need to attend them all to take part.

The next workshop is on Tuesday 18th June, 3-6pm and will focus on myths and storytelling - how humans deal with uncertainty, environmental change and the future. The final workshop on Saturday 13th July will look at folklore, nature and ritual.

Furtherfield Commons is a wheelchair accessible venue.

Please email the artist at: promises@thepredictionmachine.org if you want to discuss any accessibility requirements or questions about bringing younger children along.

Refreshments will be provided.

Results of the workshops and a screen based exhibit about the Future Machine are being shown as part of the Furtherfield's Time Portals exhibition in Furtherfield Gallery and will contribute to a film about the making of the Future Machine #citscifi #furtherfield.

These final workshops are part of the Festival of Learning in partnership with Haringey Adult Learning Service and Furtherfield Gallery. Funded by Furtherfield and the Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham.

The Future Machine Artwork
www.whenthefuturecomes.net

The Future Machine sits on a hand cart ready for the journey, travels the country and plugs into a greater whole of many parts. It stands as a witness to the places, people, stories and events of these turbulent times, as the Earth changes, and we take a journey into an uncertain future.

The Future Machine is a new artwork, an interactive machine, built to help us to respond to environmental change as the future unfolds. The machine will record people's visions of the future, make predictions, facilitate new rituals and helps us to make decisions about the future we want, not one we fear.

The artwork is being created by the artist Rachel Jacobs in collaboration with a team of engineers, programmers, climate scientists from the British Antarctic Survey, researchers from the University of Nottingham, and participants in a series of artist-led workshops, scheduled to take place in London and Nottingham in 2019.
