The Future Machine is a witness. The appearance of this mysterious artwork bestows what may be termed a mythical status on these moments and places.
About
The Future Machine is a witness.
The Future Machine will appear
in Christ Church Gardens in Nottingham when the trees blossom,
at the River Leven in Cumbria following the watershed,
in Rotherfield Peppard in Oxfordshire when the first sunny days mark the end of winter
in Cannington and Kilve in Somerset to celebrate planting trees,
and Finsbury Park in London when the Autumn leaves start to fall.

The Future Machine is due to appear every year for the next 30 years. Newly formed rituals or special occasions emerge from its appearance. The Future Machine collects messages for the future from the people who gather around it.
The Future Machine prints out a story for people to take away with them, ‘a future quest’ to help people think about the future.
The Future Machine plays the messages left by people in the past
and sounds that change depending on the weather.
