Impacts of Future Technologies
Exhibition with Margot Alyce Lechner, Samridhi Malhotra, Charline Martin-Pasi
What technologies are we missing? What should have been invented long ago? Three artistic works explore the future.
Free admission
As part of the course “Impacts of Future Technologies” in the joint master's program “Human-Computer Interaction” at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences and PLUS in the 2024/25 winter semester, three students explored future technologies and their impact on social processes, creating artistic works that are intended to foreshadow these future products.
The works by Margot Alyce Lechner, Samridhi Malhotra, and Charline Martin-Pasi deal with Mars colonization, brain-machine interfaces, and means of emotional control. They are artistic concepts that present design fictions and imagined companies.
In Lechner's “Stella Fera: The Mars We Build,” the visionary colonization of Mars becomes a travel brochure that confronts us with practical questions ranging from surgical implants to other issues. With “ThoughtScape,” Malhotra creates a design fiction about the fantastic effects of brain-machine interfaces, which can conveniently combine mind reading with shopping. Martin-Pasi's “Pause™. When Feelings Hurt Too Much” invites us to engage in a thought experiment of regulating our feelings in small increments.
Opening: October 3, 7:30 p.m.
The exhibition will be on display until November 7 during the opening hours of the gold extra studio.
We would like to thank the curator Prof. Dr. Elmar Schüll and the course directors FH-Prof. Dr. Bernhard Maurer (FHS) and DI (FH) Dr. Martin Murer (PLUS).
The exhibition is a co-production with the Science Meets Fiction Festival 2025.
