ELLIOTT P MONTGOMERY : EXTRAPOLATION FACTORY & 99c FUTURES
http://www.epmid.com/w/extrapolation.html
Is an imagination-based assembly line for developing snapshots of future scenarios, embodied as artifacts for exhibition and sale in a Brooklyn 99Â store. In this workshop, participants cast present-day news, statistics, and developments into future products that will be exhibited at a 'time-warp opening' of the 99cent Futures store. The speculative methodology is intended to offer creatives, non-profits, students, and companies a tool for envisioning and presenting more imaginative visions for futures.
