SUMMARY:FACT: FACT: Future Ages Will Wonder
DESCRIPTION:FACT: Future Ages Will Wonder\n\nLarry Achiampong and David Bla
 ndy\, Yarli Allison\, Miku Aoki\, Trisha Baga\, Breakwater\, Ai Hasegawa a
 nd Boedi Widjaja.\n\nFREE ENTRY\nOpen Wed - Sun from 11:00 - 18:00\nThe sp
 eck\, the droplet\, the pixel.\nFrom microcellular DNA to the proliferatio
 n of digital images\, throughout all of time we have used science and tech
 nology to collect and share information about who we are. Discoveries have
  been made\, patterns have been formed\, and stories have been told\, but 
 always by those in power.\nBut who decides who belongs\, and who writes ou
 r stories? How can we connect with our ancestry if it has been forgotten b
 y history? To build fairer futures\, we must question how the past has bee
 n controlled\, and who (or what) has been left behind.\nFuture Ages Will W
 onder presents an “alternative museum” of artworks that use science a
 nd technology to question our past and offer new ways of understanding who
  we are and where we belong.\nThe artworks on display bring together tradi
 tional mediums such as textiles\, sculpture\, and photography with virtual
  reality\, computer algorithms and synthetic DNA to reimagine stories abou
 t our past\, present and future. Through this wide range of materials and 
 art-making\, the exhibition refocuses where we place attention and what we
  value: reimagining stories about our past\, present and future. Turning a
 ttention to alternative histories\, the political and ethical issues found
  in archaeology\, botany\, genetics and the use of technology in our daily
  lives\, visitors are invited to behold and ‘wonder’ at the advancemen
 t of science and technology.\nFuture Ages Will Wonder will premier three 
 new commissions by artists Larry Achiampong and David Blandy (UK)\, Yarli 
 Allison (Canada/Hong Kong)\, Breakwater (South Korea/UK)\, a new work by B
 oedi Widjaja (Singapore/Indonesia) alongside works by Ai Hasegawa and Miku
  Aoki (Japan)\, and Trisha Baga (USA). The exhibition is curated by Annie 
 Jael Kwan\, an independent curator\, researcher and educator\, who has col
 laborated with FACT over the last year to develop the show.\nThis exhibiti
 on marks the launch of Radical Ancestry\, FACT’s year long exploration 
 into the sense of belonging. Over the next 12 months\, a programme of exhi
 bitions\, projects\, residencies and events at FACT will look at how histo
 ry\, geography\, biology and culture shape our ancestral history and quest
 ion how technology can help us to explore new ways of thinking and experim
 enting with who we are.
