A first look at FUTURES: The most groundbreaking innovations at SmithsonianAIB's new exhibit
If there was ever a time to reimagine what lies ahead, it's today as we envision our post-pandemic world. In every crisis there's opportunity, and for the 175th anniversary of the world's largest museum and research complex, the Smithsonian is celebrating innovations created out of disruption.
"Now, more than ever, we need a way to think about the future with hopefulness and flexibility," Rachel Goslins, director of the Smithsonian's AIB, where the"FUTURES" exhibit will be staged, tells Newsweek."To be able to imagine the future we want, not just the future we fear." "With the tumultuous events of the last couple years, it's even more important to be able to imagine a future which is healthy, equitable and sustainable, so we can chart a course toward that future."Fusing art, technology, design and history,"FUTURES" is opening in late 2021 and on view until summer 2022.
Goslins, the former executive director of President Obama's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, shares some of her favorite pieces that show technology can, at its best, work to make us more human, not less—like Doing Nothing With AI, a responsive sculpture that reads your movements to help put you in a state of creative daydreaming; and the Co-Lab, an interactive experience in which people work together with artificial intelligence to design their ideal community.
