RELAX INTO 2050 - ADVENTURES IN AN OPTIMISTIC FUTURE
Explore a future that has the potential to be whatever you make it. Kick off your shoes and look around. It’s actually pretty nice! At least that’s what artists Chris & Jennie Dennett (Artfly) invite you to imagine.
‘Relax into 2050- Adventures in an Optimistic Future’ is a playful installation set in a flourishing future where nature and technology work in harmony. A future collectively built with airship rides, bountiful rewilded nature and AI-led cures for many of our ills.
Step into the dream dome, lie back and enjoy the mesmerising patterns made by you and your fellow humans.
Listen to the soothing sounds of humanity travelling forward in time, not to a dystopian destination, but to a possible one where it’s actually all OK.
Look around the dome to read about the ways people in Barrow and beyond are already building this future.
The exhibition is inspired by the Solarpunk art movement which imagines a world in which existing technologies are deployed for the greater good of both people and planet.
