'Future Shock' is the name of an immersive audio-visual exhibition that "took London by storm" last year. The experience invited the public into "an immersive display of projection mapping, AI datasets, and electronic music." In order to immortalize and make this highly immersive experience more accessible to a global audience, FACT Magazine and 180 Studios—the firms that set up the unique audio-visual exhibition—have migrated 'Future Shock' to the digital world.
'Future Shock' references a 1970s book that bears the same name. Written by American futurologist Alvin Toffler, the text "anticipated the stress and disorientation ushered in by technological age."
Online, viewers can access each of the 16 artworks—some of the most notable pieces include Ryoichi Kurokawa's installation and an installation by Actual Objects—through a drop-down menu on the website.
