Commentary

Ai Hasegawa, who has been proposing “A future that might be” as well as carrying out detailed scientific research, has released a participation-based role-playing installation with the theme of “a future where you can select your living environment, whether land or sea, and artificial wombs are possible” set in future Tokyo.

The participants talk about what choice they would make if it were up to them, and what sort of dramas would unfold.

In a recent workshop, a number of scenarios were created for changes to systems, lifestyles, and values in future cities.

Visitors can freely write down their expectations, worries, their own views of new futures and so on regarding these scenarios, and a variety of debates will be held during the exhibition period.

By imagining these fictitious futures and virtually experiencing them, this project will generate stories about a number of lifestyles.

What sort of lifestyle would you choose in a future.
