The most diverse people are driven into dangerous situations through “enclosures” of language in which hatred of any kind of difference smouldered; the tendency to withdraw, to isolation, sabotages our ability to coexist with others and their different perspectives.

Jovana Popić
The Project “Controlling Future: Technologies of Resistance” is questioning the politics representations of future and political and economic control of those future narratives. Through artistic enquiry, exchange of knowledge and imagination it produces creative actions that challenge and deconstruct those narratives. Working together with activists, experts, citizens and researchers in different European capitals, it employs art as a technology for generation of ideas and potential solutions for the two strategic challenges: the future of human life and human labor. The broader mission of the project is to create a blueprint of the new collaborative interdisciplinary working processes between different activists, experts, citizens and researchers on the topic of future defining strategies.

Iulian Bisericaru
living and working in Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca, Romania
Iulian Bisericaru lives and works in Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca, Romania. His early painting is influenced by the Cluj-school of art, having graduated from the Painting Department of the University of Arts and Design Cluj-Napoca. The artist has since expanded his area of thematic interest and continues to pursue daringly colourful and complex painterly compositions, writing his PhD thesis on the relationship between architecture and painting, with a critical overview of the ecological ideology. Bisericaru’s artworks offer a somehow neglected or hidden perspective on aspects of contemporary society, one that the human eye willingly avoids.

Numbers, graphs and statistics as standards for better reporting data, quantifiable and cross-matched within recognizable patterns, stereotypes, and even collective emotional states. Nothing can be alien to us again. We are all success stories, otherwise we would remain untold. In the uncanny valley of crypto bliss and covid charts, no next pandemic will catch us unprepared, unready to speculate economically from the self-confinement of our netflix screens.
