REMEMBERING THE FUTURE

Remembering the Future is an ongoing transdisciplinary project that traces how stories shapeshift across time, revealing the tenuous boundary between fiction and reality and the ways narrative helps us make sense of uncertainty, loss, and the imagined future. Begun during fieldwork at the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah, the work merges photography, digital and handmade collage—sometimes incorporating lenticular overlays—generative AI, writing, and installation to explore storytelling as a technology for envisioning what lies ahead. The current phase focuses on synthetic beings and the corporate systems that produce them, reflecting on our uneasy relationship with emerging forms of artificial intelligence and the technologies that mediate care and intimacy. It asks us to confront how we use—and misuse—our fictions, as the borders between human and machine, fact and invention have collapsed into an aesthetic condition of recursion and instability, where images, stories, and identities continually rewrite one another.
