Growing up in a large city the sight of sneakers hanging on power cables is in no way unfamiliar. At the end of the school year the dare was to get your sneakers up on the wire, it was a sort of manhood (or big boy which is much the same) challenge.
"Within the exhibition’s Futures that Unite hall, Devan Shimoyama (b. 1989, Philadelphia) will create a moment of reflection in response to the tumult and tragedy brought on by racial violence and the COVID-19 pandemic. His shimmering, soaring “The Grove,” will be an imagined future monument to the year 2020, inviting visitors to enter a meditative forest-like space, take a moment to forgive, breathe, pause and heal. Using “DIY” utility poles, dangling shoes and silk flowers, “The Grove” references community traditions of spontaneous memorials and will be adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals to offer a sense of light, magic and the divine in witness to lives lost.
Shimoyama’s mixed-media practice frequently imbues a sense of community, solidarity, commemoration and identity at the intersection of Blackness and queerness. “The Grove” will represent both a singular, internal mourning for collective trauma and the healing power of empathy and hope."

Model Alex F and MUA Dawn Slattery - Mixing natural light (behind camera) with a homemade 480w tungsten ring light in background. I used a lensbaby single glass optic (star aperture inserted) to introduce softness. Simple B&W treatment as I think it lends itself to image.
Part of Bristol Light Festival 2022
Futures is a spectacular light sculpture that transports audiences to the crossroads of their future. The installation uses the optical illusions created by light, sound and mirrors takes audiences to a place where they can consider which path to take for the future.
Optical illusions reveal how we truly perceive reality: they show us that our minds tend to make assumptions about the world and that what we see is often not truth. Futures is an immersive space in which audiences experience illusions that can reveal everything from how they process space and time to their perception of consciousness.

New sensors. More intelligent apps. Mobile-connected smart objects. Wearables. LTE. Augmented reality. Multi-platform development tools. Precision indoor location sensing. Ultra HD. Flexible screens. The list of anticipated future mobile technologies goes on and on.
On April 23, NYC Media Lab and Razorfish presented an evening of demos and discussion on Mobile Futures to learn what’s on the verge of commercialization, what’s still in the lab, and what advances will change the nature of media and communications in the future.

Three long-since withdrawn electric locomotives - all looking dishevelled after many years of open storage - face very uncertain futures. No doubt liberated of many parts, they are likely to stay here at DB Cargo's Crewe Electric depot for the foreseeable future, but the long-term prospects for these engines are not great.

Our futures are bright and promising.
When we focus on uncertainty, we can only feel anxiety.
When we focus on the true source of Light. Our Hope is secured and nothing can stop us!
The number of possible futures is infinite.
Each decision we make as individuals, offers to us any number of different futures.
Decisions we make as a species, even more so.
But try not to be too hard on the Human's.
We are the only species, known to date, that have begun to unravel the truths behind reality.
We and we alone, are the only species, that has the ability to dimly view and consider the future, as we are quite probably the only species to truly remember the past.
However you consider the beginnings of our species, we have managed to get this far in the relatively short time span of 150,000 years. And we managed to get here without the assistance of others. We have got here by our own skills, understanding, memory and accumulated knowledge.
Many times we have moved close to the brink but every time we manage to find our way through and continue.
Now, larger problems loom . . .
But as a species we will get through them . . .

This morning at Stanford. I asked if the model will be dynamic (e.g., will we lose 20% of jobs currently driving vehicles faster than new jobs arise)? "Yes, the transients are the most ambitious part of the model" -- Prof. Marco Pavone, seen here.
From the first annual Stanford Catalyst Future 10 Symposium, an interdisciplinary initiative to fund winning teams with $3m each for catalytic studies. I like this new name for what I think is the locus of meaningful innovation and potentially, the more rapid formation of new academic disciplines.
