Future Archive

Here's that Future Archive thing I mentioned in rehearsal the other day: www.futurearchive.org

The future archive is a platform that issues divergent responses to the problem of how to think about the future. It tries to investigate how people position themselves vis a vis the future, conceptually and practically - how they try to make change happen.

As such, the future archive engages conversations that are set in possible times and spaces to come, which two or more people performatively inhabit as proposed versions of futurity. From there, contemporary society is remembered. In every conversation, a different future is negotiated - via a discursive methodology complicit with radical pedagogy and action research, as well as techniques of interview and dialogue.

The description is a bit hyper-intellectualized BUT the method could be useful. You can watch videos of the interviews on their website. There's an "Intro" on that shows clips of a variety of interviews.

Here's a description of the interview/conversation method. It's translated from Spanish in Google Translate, so it's a little wonky, but you can get the idea.
