In the AFTER project, artists and researchers from different countries around the world will create artworks and concepts to predict the future.


In the AFTER project, artists and researchers from different countries around the world will create artworks and concepts to predict the future.


AFTER is a project in which participants work and create artworks and concepts as a vision of the future of the Global Planetary Scene. Art is used as an oracle that sees the coming 22nd century and beyond from our contemporary position.

What will be the situation of society, ecology and other aspects of planet Earth in the 22nd century?

How can we act before the crisis occurs?


It is necessary to raise awareness before catastrophic consequences appear. The most important aspect of the AFTER project is to develop new visions and ideas, proposals to create alternatives to build together a better world and better relationships within society and with nature. We and the planet are the same complex system, the same thing. We need to act as a united whole.



Time is a constant flow like a river that is transforming all things all the time. The universe, nature, matter and life are transforming at all times.

We are at a specific point in this river, here and now, flowing guided by the current from the past to the future. The river is a chain of causes and their impacts. If we understand the causes, we can understand the impact, as a sense of the river. In the end, the river flows to the sea. In the same way, we can understand the complex system of life as a seed; if we know that seed, we know the three that will grow and we can predict the future fruits of those three. Looking at reality, we can understand the future as the possibility of the line of least resistance through time.

If we look at the river from the sky, we can see the spring in the mountain where the water was born, we can look at it from another side, the waterfalls and lakes, and finally the sea, the whole river in a complete view. Our lives and our society are part of the river, the causes and results of our acts are part of the flowing current. All history is present at the same time, but only if we have a broad and deep vision to understand the whole river in a complete picture. In this way we can say that the whole history of the universe from the beginning to infinity is there complete at the same time. Obviously this vision is not that time is just a line where we are always situated only at a specific point. But for example, we know that the light we see from the stars is not the stars, it is just the light passing through space-time, but we can observe the stars. The past is written in the present and the future of the stars is within our eyes. Of course, if we can observe the whole river of the history of time we need a distant and clear point of view.


Throughout human history, from prehistoric times to contemporary global society, we try to predict and plan what will happen,

PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION

AFTER.

Art as an oracle to see the future
Art is an instrument to penetrate time. As memory, inheritance of the past, as a contemporary expression of the present and as a vision to see the future. Art can often predict the future. Art is an antenna and can receive signals from the future and understand it. Leonardo da Vinci thought of flying machines like the helicopter, Jules Verne referred to the submarine centuries before they were invented. Today we can fly and submarines exist. Program Here
