Symposium for the MGGU exhibition: Fixing Futures: Planetary futures between speculation and control

How can art and science help us to imagine futures that are not yet visible? In a multidisciplinary symposium, the RTG’s Dr. Steven Gonzalez and Dr. Julia Schubert bring together renowned artists and scientists to discuss speculative visions, technological utopias and the responsibility for planetary futures. The focus is on the interactions between art, science and technology and the new perspectives that arise from their collaboration.
