a worldbuilding lab for radical futures

NEW SUNS is a collective worldbuilding lab that brings together an interdisciplinary group of creatives to explore radical futures through art and speculative fiction. As “realists of a larger reality” (Ursula K. LeGuin), the lab addresses contemporary challenges and envisions alternative possibilities. Participants will create work set in a shared world of their collective making, combining elements of science fiction, social theory, and creative practice to construct detailed fictional worlds that serve as thought experiments for reimagining social, technological, and ecological relationships.

Interstellar Alternatives

This immersive 3D environment addresses themes of colonialism, exploitation and consumption by examining a possible future of space travel and tourism. Interstellar Illusions leverages science fiction and fantasy aesthetics within a navigate-able speculative narrative. Viewers are invited to explore a fictional and abandoned extraplanetary luxury resort. It is unclear as to why the resort has been vacated, but what’s left behind offers an eerie glimpse of what the future of space travel and tourism could be.

Experiments in machine hallucinations by Valérie Bélanger

In Fungus Dreams, Valérie Bélanger explores the aesthetic possibilities of emerging AI tools by combining her own wildlife photography with the outputs of generative video system powered by machine learning tools. Bélanger uploaded still images, over and over again, each time extending the space of the photo into a increasingly dreamy landscape. The resulting video is a surreal machine dreaming landscape.
