Fragments of a Lost Future

About

White Conduit Projects brings together the five artists who bravely and playfully incorporate the sense of global crisis into the core and surface of their work. They attempt new ways of communication, quietly bringing a (J.G) Ballardian nuance to artworks that inhabit our domestic space.

The fears of the near future described in J.G. Ballard's science fiction novels are now our reality. Earth is accustomed to the phenomenon of shifting temperatures and to changes in the degree of saturation of its soils: the Sahara Desert has cycled through wet and dry periods since the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago, and over tens of millions of years solar radiation energy changes the earth's surface. But now human existence is threatened through the results of our own activity, where we hasten the progress of desertification. We know we can and should promote measures to slow this progression yet on the contrary, we maintain a momentum.
