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 ro
bot and human inhabited space settlement is built in the low equatorial orbit. It offers space tourism as means of reinforcing the overview effect.

An array of AIs and autonomous robots known as The Swarm mine asteroids, remove space debris and maintain solar power stations in earth’s orbit, beaming limitless free energy back onto 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.

INFLATABLE
FUTURE
                          

A story about rooftops, airships, robots and inflatables is an installation exploring themes of worldmaking, ecology and artificial intelligence.

Born out of observations of an emerging rooftop culture of urban gardening and alternative lifestyles in downtown LA during the pandemic, Discovery is a simulation of The Airborne Collective, a radical environmental hacker group seeking to make a flourishing roofscape ecosystem and unleash hope and optimism in the face of looming ecological threat.

The Airborne Collective


GAME
ECOLOGY
FUTURE


The Catalog is a top down simulation game that models the complex phenomena of entangled systems of TAC ecology and economy. This game presents a model, a toy world with its own internally coherent reality, a world where a player can exercise a fantasy of obsessive control and visibility, observe the systems, cut into objects to look inside, dissect the world like a surgeon, or better yet, as an architect. The Catalog presents a deep dive into life simulation games as a new format for architectural design, it includes a tech tree, it names all the human and non human agents, asks for their moods and current states, in order to instantiate a pluralistic image of a World.

FLAG FOR THE AIRBORNE COLLECTIVE


Inflatable fabrication by:
Landmark creations

An inflatable is a great real life stand-in for a digital object.
It is mostly air, wrapped in a thin envelope.

A beanbag, on the other hand, presents itself as something amorphous,
unable to hold a definite shape, a kind of entropy wrapper.  
The objects are emotionally active and might seem alive and breathing.


The flag of The Airborne Collective strangely embodies a yearning for a future that never was, and a nostalgia for a real place that vanished sometime in the late 20th century.

Flag generated by MidJourney Artificial Intelligence, with the prompt:
“flag design airborne collective eco symbol hacker group in style of anime neon colors”.
