Forecasting: Interesting Worlds

Invisible Dust’s commission Forecasting: Interesting Worlds from acclaimed Chinese artist Fei Jun asked 13 people from across the world to co-create their own ‘interesting’ future world through RE-SEARCH, an art app developed by the artist. This is the flagship commission for Invisible Dust’s new Forecast programme which launches with a global events programme on the 3rd - 7th March 2021.

The 13 co-creators span the world, based in Russia, China, Antarctica, Ghana, Mozambique, Finland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay and the UK – with a special additional sea-voyaging participant to represent our seas and oceans.

From a range of over 180 objects created by Fei Jun – some everyday, others less so – our co-creators have been asked to select and describe the five objects that stand out as being the most important or influential to their thinking about the future.

With these selections, the artist Fei Jun has created a bespoke virtual interesting world for each participant. The choice of objects, and the way they are placed form a dialogue, an illusion, a moving interesting world of their hopes and fears.

As a global field research tool, this art project - translated into both English and Mandarin - enables us to observe and explore the many complex and diverse views of the world as it is today, and the views of its future.

This artwork is supported by Arts Council England and the Wellcome Trust, with support from our media partner CAFA Art Info, Artron Art, Art iFeng, MANA Global New Media Arts Platform.
