MKIK held the first meeting as part of the online programme called Let’s Go to the Future Together by #futureculturelab. Students along with Olga Remneva and Anna Popova discussed an interesting topic: ‘What Will the World Be Like Tomorrow? Culture and Communication’.
In speakers’ opinion, the future is a space of personal and collective responsibility. Every person is essential for building our general tomorrow.
There are three futurological concepts in culture: utopia, dystopia, and protopia. Technologies are leading humanity to the third theory which represents the golden mean between an idealised picture of future and critical attitude to it.
Protopia is an eternal process of transformation which steadily impacts the changing of our world. Sometimes progress seems to be modest but, in the meantime, it is obvious in retrospective.
In the second part of the meeting, Olga Remneva told students of MKIK about occupations of the future in the field of culture and art.
Curator of collective creativity, art-appraiser, coach of creative conditions, personal tutor of aesthetic development, and science-artist are the specializations that will be in demand in the future world. Olga Remneva briefly revealed the essence of every profession that was especially interesting for students of creative fields of study.
Anna Popova continued the topic and told in what ways art helps to find answers to questions about the future. Authors working in the art&science field are interesting in this contest. They are those who are working on prototyping the future.
Artists are trying to offer new types of communication, tools for creating music, ways of keeping knowledge, ways of saving nature, interaction formats with cars, possibilities for disabled people, and mechanisms that express citizenship by involving different areas of activity in their creativity.
Speakers showed a couple of examples of projects at the interface of art and technologies: Content Aware Studies by Egor Kraft, The Door Interactive Spaces Urban Studio, Monumento Minimo by Nele Azevedo.
At the end of the meeting, students were asked what they can personally do to get closer to the desired image of the future?
There will be four more meetings on the topic of the future. Next time the #futureculturelab experts will tell us about the interaction formats between people and artificial intellect.
