Radical Ocean Futures
Enter the acclaimed, encompassing experience hall Wisdome at the National Museum of Science and Technology to hear four sci-fi inspired future scenarios for our seas. In the project Radical Ocean Futures, scientist Andrew Merrie uses science fiction to illustrate how our oceans can live – or die – based on what we do today. As he says himself, “sometimes fiction can draw attention where scientific papers fail”. Engaging artworks by Simon Stålenhag and music by Brenda El Rayes adds to this way of experiencing scientific research unlike anything else.
After the presentation, Andrew Merrie will lead a workshop in the Wood Hall outside Wisdome. Participants will be able to try out his method of “sci-fi prototyping” to create their own visionary solutions for the future of the Baltic Sea.
