Future Self Message, 2016, mixed media
Inspired by the India Club’s fast depleting peg board drinks menu, the Future Self Message Machine is a utopian communication device. The structures are informed by symbolism in Thomas More’s book (tower, rock, water and garden), alchemist signs, experimental utopian communities and architecture. The sound, devised by Mike Brooks, is a response to the notion of utopia, its disregard of autobiography and the fetishisation of the future.
