"Do You Remember the Future?", lecture-performance, Brussels (BE), 2017

"It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster" - recently noted by Brian Cox, an Advanced Fellow of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester.

One of the paramount issues about futures of the humanity is its possible resilience to the socio-political paradoxes of behavioural (ir)rationality. While technological progress constantly multiplies the speed of changes and expands the vision of the 'possible', political staleness is resulting in an illusion of an everlasting present of anthropological time. The staleness and the illustion together keep the common conciousness (even if it exists) in a flat state. What are the perks of the expanding distance between technology and politics? Can epistemology and hermeneutics become pro-active agents? What role does art play in the constant misbalance? 

Lecture-performance was organised as a result of the research residency of Avenir Institute in January in Brussels, Belgium.
