How dystopias can save the world

The story of the future of our planet and species is one that is yet to be told for a few, the story is a warning of what is happening and what not to do. As a rule, we don't know the future, but we do our best to make correct judgments. Most of us are aware of our impact on the future of our planet and us, but for some, we are more affected than effective. Stas x Obvious attempt to display that warning in a creative new way, which is now on exhibit at the Weinberg/Newton Gallery in Chicago, Illinois.

The BBC published a recent article in Culture, written by Diane Cole, informing the reader about the various interactive and sensory-immersive art currently on display at the Human/Nature exhibit in Chicago. The exhibition lures would-be bystanders to take a closer look and fills them with sensory perceptions that identify manufactured threats to our future and our planet.

Doomsday is a look into that potential future, presented in the article as an “eerily beautify and devastatingly empty” addition to the collection that brings together Stas’ photography with the AI-powered imagination of Obvious.
