Experience a weekend festival of immersive experiences, compelling performances and radical speakers to excite and challenge your perceptions of the future.
Now in its third year, FutureFest will take you on an incredible journey. Listen to music pioneer Brian Eno, catch Rhianna Pratchett predicting the future of storytelling, and hear how Mustafa Suleyman is changing the future of health through artifical intelligence.
Taking place at London’s Tobacco Dock, 17-18 September 2016, this year’s event focuses on four themes – looking at how we’ll Love, Play, Work and Thrive in the future. It will feature groundbreaking commissions including Collective Reality – a group sensory experience, created in response to the singular nature of virtual reality, Coming Out – a site-specific audio journey of dating stories created with Roundhouse Radio, and Cybathlon – exploring how elite sports of the future will be contested by cybathletes.
As well as prolific artists and writers such as DJ Spooky and Will Self, we’ll be hearing from radicals like Cindy Gallop – the entrepreneur actively shaking up the gender in the workplace debate, Claire Lomas – the cyber-athlete who completed the London Marathon in an exoskeleton, and Mustafa Suleyman – the co-founder of DeepMind.
