What If: Future Form, Future Function

By Lisa Smith - November 9, 2009

What If... is a new exhibition at the Science Gallery in Dublin that investigates the future of technology "in the space between reality and the impossible and where designers meet scientists to explore the future." This exhibition has been curated by Anthony Dunne, Fiona Raby and Science Gallery director Michael John Gorman and features imaginative and propositional work from a group of designers who are reimagining our future. Below, RCA graduate Sascha Pohflepp talks about "The Golden Institute," an alternate history project stemming from the idea that Jimmy Carter was re-elected and focused more of our national efforts on the development of alternative energy sources, such as lightning harvesting. Sounds far-fetched...but maybe not much more so than Yury Luzhkov's recent (and real) proposal to ban snow in Moscow.

There are pictures all over Flickr, but the best way to explore this exhibition online is through the Science Gallery's website, where all the propositions have been thoroughly written up. If you're lucky enough to be in Dublin, this show will remain open through December 13th, so don't miss it! What If... The Science Gallery Dublin, Ireland October 8-December 13, 2009
