The Future: A History

Monday 18 February 2013, 4.30PM to 6pm

Speaker(s): Glenn Adamson (V&A)

As Glenn will explain, the 2016 project surveys practices of projection and prediction in art and design, from the middle ages to the present day. The show will range widely, from medieval visions of the last judgment, through utopian architecture of the enlightenment, nineteenth-century dreams of flight and depictions of future fashions, to prototyping practices in modern industrial design and the latest imaginings of our own future.

Throughout, the emphasis is on the leap of insight that occurs when designing something seemingly improbable or impossible.

Location: The Bowland Auditorium
