The Future Wears the Weather
Speculating the 2076 mountain athlete
Outdoor Futures (Nicholas Hadji-Michael) Todo Extras (Oscar Galgano)
The exhibition envisioned a 2076 where everyday life is shaped by the realities of climate instability. It speculates a shift in performance culture for the mountain athlete - where being climate-responsive in engrained in practice.
I designed and fabricated 6 artefacts a future mountain athlete might carry which embed the collection of environmental data into their practice. As part of the larger exhibition, these objects aimed to provide snapshots - to transport the viewer into this potential future reality.
