About


 
When The Future Comes is a collaborative artist-led project that engages with the people, places and ecologies across five places in England (Christ Church Gardens in Nottingham, Finsbury Park in London, Windermere-Leven Watershed in Cumbria, Peppard in Oxfordshire and Cannington in Somerset) through a series of artworks and research, due to continue until 2050. The collective consists of a group of artists, musicians, programmers and researchers.

When the Future Comes involves a series of artist’s interventions each witnessed by a mysterious and mystical device – the Future Machine. A newly formed ritual or special occasion will emerge as the Future Machine appears in Oxfordshire, Nottingham, Cumbria, Somerset and London every year - until 2050 the year that scientists predict will be a watershed for more extreme climate and environmental change.
