The 1st International Art Triennial Unpredictable Futures is a project of visions and research that responds to the current issues of the space and Anthropocene era focused on predicting life outside the Earth. The project is implemented in Molėtai and its environs, the town which, thanks to Lithuanian scientists and artists already several decades ago, became a place of visual, pragmatic, prognostic, ontological, and other connections with space. The 1st International Art Triennial Unpredictable Futures (UFNA) will search for answers to the question of what the world of the future will be.
Interactions between the matter and bodies, cosmic light and sound, alpha, beta, and other particles, black holes, gravity, and other space experiences will be embodied in artifacts. With the help of traditional and interdisciplinary media, triennial participants worldwide will present their work, identify their relationship with space, their own, and other bodies, explore innovative materials and technologies, or even use the enigmatic X (12) dimension. The triennial presents art and design objects, artistic research from more than 60 artists, and art researchers from Denmark, Iran, Canada, Lithuania, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Finland, and Romania. The research project DRAFTS: Design Research Artifacts in the Context of Exhibition is a part of the UFNA Art Triennial that presents emerging topics in the field of fashion and textile design.
