Speculative Futures
2025
ACMI is graphically reimagined; in a future where Melbourne is yet to experience its first dawn. Through heavily iterative work, the mechanics of the speculative future informs the conceptual framework for world building. Nature is restored; no man-made objects exist. Creatures communicate through frequencies.
Where does ACMI fit in a restored world? The concept of restoration explored in film informs how the remnants of ACMI could appear in a fully restored future. The result is a condition of erasure, blurred thresholds, and distortions revealing a restored future that has been altered by past events.
