Maja Kuzmanovic – ‘How do we rehearse an uncertain future?’

IMPROVING REALITY 2013 FILMS - Session Two
BRIGHTON DIGITAL FESTIVAL
SEPTEMBER 5 2013 
STUDIO THEATRE, BRIGHTON

The process of reimagining requires being aware of what is, what has gone before and attempts to answer the tricky questions of “what if…” Maja will talk about how FoAM create real life labs to explore these questions using methods such as ‘future pre-enactments’ and alternate reality narratives, attempting to transform speculative fiction into embodied foresight. As the loops between imagination and reality can be either tightened or unwound, reimagining becomes a heuristic process of perpetually walking into a swarm of possible futures, immersing ourselves in what might be and finding ways to thrive in conditions of uncertainty.
