FUTURE
Exhibition at Espacio Fundación Telefónica
In June 2023, Lifeforms were invited by the curatorial team at the Fundacion Telefónica in Madrid, Spain, to participate in Windows To The Future (Ventanas Al Futuro), an exhibition dedicated to exploring positive futures for humanity. Orbital is our response to this invitation.
Original Music by Jake Matatyaou
It is 2350 and humanity has embraced space.
Orbital, the first robot and human inhabited space settlement is built in the Low Equatorial Orbit. It offers space tourism as means of reinforcing the overview effect.
As a colossal, networked supercomputer, Orbital operates a collective of artificial intelligence systems and autonomous robots, dubbed The Swarm. This ensemble is tasked with asteroid mining, space debris elimination, and the upkeep of solar power stations in Earth's orbit, which in turn, transmit an endless supply of free energy back to the planet.
Earth becomes a garden and it is free from extractivism.
Interdependence is the new global and extra-global spiritual movement.
How will humanity change?

Orbital propels viewers into a speculative journey, exploring two groundbreaking technologies: Space-Based Solar Power and Space Mining. Nestled in low earth orbit (LEO), Orbital marks the dawn of a new era where technology and cooperation redefine our relationship with the cosmos.
