Our piece, Monuments of Future Nostalgia, is a collaborative public performance engaging mobile technology, crowd sourcing, and auditory projections.
PREVIEW:
Hope masquerades as a vision, where the passion and insecurity felt by people become part of a call for national unity and identity, part of a community sentiment and future ideal of what we imagine ourselves to be. It is a kind of future nostalgia, a 'fantastic hope' for national unity charged by a static vision of life and the exclusion of difference. When, for the benefit of our security and belonging, we evoke a hope that ignores the suffering of others, we can only create a hope based on fear. This hope lies in the heart of terror.
