Forbes Magazine: “50 Leading Female Futurists”

March 2020

Increasingly futurists are being hired by businesses to present visions of what the future could look like. Sometimes futurists are sci fi writers like Isaac Asimov (whose books inspired Elon Musk’s companies), and other times they predict business futures like Faith Popcorn. In 1991 Faith predicted that "humanoid robots" would become companions and workers.

M HKA: “A Temporary Futures Institute”

April 2017

‘A Temporary Futures Institute’ is organised by M HKA within the framework of ‘The Uses of Art’, a project by the European museum confederation L’Internationale.

No one knows what doesn’t yet exist. But identifying possible, probable and preferred futures can help us understand the present and the past. The plural is important; it reminds us not to try to predict one single future. Just like art, futures studies (also called foresight) wants to be seen as more than a discipline. It is practice and method, a roundabout tour of understanding rather than a straight path to knowledge.

‘A Temporary Futures Institute’ wants us to think critically about things to come rather than looking back at how previous periods imagined ‘the future’. How shall exhibitions stimulate our thinking? Must they become immersive environments to lure us away from our screens? How autonomous will exhibitions, and the art and artists they feature, be in relation to the rest of the world?
