ACT Professor Azra Akšamija framed her Spring 2015 section of Foundations in Art, Design, and Spatial Practices (4.302), around the idea of Wunderkammer, or cabinets of curiosities. These wonder-rooms gained popularity in Europe in the sixteenth century and typically comprised encyclopedic collections of objects, ranging in scope from natural history and geology to ethnography and archaeology. Akšamija asked students in “Wunderkammer: Propositions for Future Museums,” “to think about artifacts for the future that tell a particular narrative about our time – perhaps related to ecological problems or other contemporary concerns.”
Through artistic practice and research, undergraduate students in this course investigated future forms of museums and the design of futuristic artifacts inspired by global cultural heritage.
During the semester, students worked on two studio projects related to the wunderkammer theme. The first project was body-centered in both its scale and conceptual focus. For this exercise, students created narratives set in the distant – and sometimes dystopian — future that focused on the body as an interface with the world. They addressed topics such as gender identity, politics and ecology in projects that ranged from wearables to performance pieces to video installations.

Mystery object time. I'm about 3" long, 3/4" diameter, flat at one end, rounded at the other, made out of stone or some mineral and have a rifled hole going through my middle... but what am I?
Shot in driver's side mirror. This young man was waiting for me to go by on Rochambeau in Providence. As soon as I passed him I pulled to the side but he was moving fast and the only shot I had time for was in the mirror. He turned down a side street the next instant and was gone. Mostly amazed I got it.
