1st International Art Triennial Unpredictable futures (UFNA)
The 1st International Art Triennial Unpredictable Futures is a project of visions and research that responds to the current issues of the space and anthropocene era, focused on predicting life outside the Earth. The project is implemented in Molėtai and its environs, the town which thanks to Lithuanian scientists and artists already several decades ago became a place of visual, pragmatic, prognostic, ontological and other connection with space. The 1st International Art Triennial Unpredictable Futures (UFNA) will search for answers to the question of what the world of the future will be.
Interactions between the matter and bodies, cosmic light and sound, alpha, beta and other particles, black holes, gravity and other space experiences will be embodied in artifacts. With the help of traditional and interdisciplinary media, triennial participants from around the world will present their work, identifying their relationship with space, their own and other bodies, exploring innovative materials and technologies, or even using the enigmatic X (12) dimension.
The triennial presents art and design objects, art research from more than 60 artists and art researchers from Denmark, Iran, Canada, Lithuania, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany.
