The past, present and FUTURES collide

The long-anticipated FUTURES opens Saturday, November 20, at the Arts and Industries Building.

In just a few days, we’ll open up our shimmering portal and welcome YOU to the FUTURES. Get ready to meditate with an AI robot, become an emoji, smell a molecule, watch clothes being cleaned in a wetland, step into an AR wildflower meadow, and much more. Dream big, and imagine not just one future, but many possible futures on the horizon.
