Change was our only Chance.Propositions of possible futures by the University of Applied Arts Vienna and Time’s Up Linz
AIL, Angewandte
Innovation Laboratory, Franz-Josefs-Kai 3, 1010 Wien
Opening: 28th of May 2019
Duration: 29th of May – 27th of September
2019. Closed in August.
In times of fundamental change, this mixture of installation and generated
process evokes desire for certain kind of futures. Residing in this future and looking back at our present shows us clearly
how crafting a more tangible future for ourselves is possible if we initiate change today.
We present an "experiential
future", a walk-through story set in an immersive sur-rounding, a stimulation for all of the senses. Possible futures are
explored in a real-life setting, in the here and now with curiosity and playfulness. Possible futures evoke the passion to
boldly popularize the complexity of our time. Possible futures are being demystified and are no longer feel terrifying. As
people from our past had understood it: "Change was the only chance".
The artist collective Time's Up from Linz
in cooperation with teachers, researchers and students of the University of Applied Arts Vienna and the Angewandte Innovation
Laboratory AIL.
