Future Perfect
Published on July 17, 2018
“If the verb tense of the future perfect assumes certain inevitabilities and the tensions of the present moment tend to assume certain doom, then Future Perfect the gathering holds space for edge cases, unexpected outcomes, and life finding a way.”
– Ingrid Burrington, Curator
In June 2017 and 2018, Data & Society brought together individuals from a variety of world-building disciplines—from art and fiction to architecture and science—for “Future Perfect” to explore the uses, abuses, and paradoxes of speculative futures.
