A permanent collection of confident predictions, abandoned timelines, and technologies that forgot to arrive.
Confident predictions, abandoned timelines, and technologies that forgot to arrive. A different gallery opens on every visit.
Replaces the three visible satirical exhibits with three different exhibits from the collection.
Automation will remove every tedious task and leave humanity with almost nothing to do.
The tedious tasks survived, acquired dashboards, and began sending calendar invitations.
Curator’s note: Leisure remains in private beta.
Every home will have a robot that cooks, cleans, and understands casual instructions.
We received a speaker that sets timers and occasionally orders the wrong light bulb.
Curator’s note: The dishes have retained legal counsel.
Digital communication will eliminate paper from modern work.
We printed the email explaining the new paperless-office policy.
Curator’s note: Displayed behind three signed copies.
Technology forecasts often reveal more about the hopes, incentives, and anxieties of their moment than the world that eventually arrives.
Every placard in this collection is original satire. No invented quotation is presented as reporting, and no actual person is falsely credited with a prediction.
