Future Mirrors

Since antiquity humankind has tried to 
domesticate uncertainty by embodying it in a topos or extrapolating it 
into known systems of belief.



Every object, system or belief, even dreams and visions, speaks volumes 
of the context in which was created, the people and the ideology that 
crafted it, and more important, its function and symbolism through time.
 Modelab seeks to draw a cartography of future knowledge: a sort of 
prospective archaeology.



Departing from their own disciplines and fields of study, we asked 
diverse specialists to imagine what  could be useful and desirable (or 
abhorrent and thus avoidable) for their field of knowledge.



Modelab asks why that imagined particular idea would be useful, and how?
 How its performance will be measured? Who will use it and for what 
purpose? To what degree current laws or cultural norms and beliefs 
should be breached to permit its existence? How will we acknowledge its 
effectiveness?
