Projects

Jethro Brice’s FutureMuseum project adopts the ‘fluid tense’ as a creative strategy, approaching the future as an area of uncertainty which in turn reflects a contested present. A collection of artefacts, models and documents of uncertain provenance, the Museum presents a fragmentary archaeology of the future. Projection into a virtual future space not only provides a route to imagining possible futures but, more importantly, it helps us to see the present from a perspective less constrained by current dominant narratives. It allows us to draw a possible thread of continuity, from counter-narratives of the past to future solutions, finding resilience in the realisation that landscapes evolve on a longer time-scale than human societal structures.
