Mitamine Lab #60 - Futura

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

This episode explores the profound human inclination to envision narratives, utopias, and potential realities. It draws parallels to Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism (1909), which championed the idea of relinquishing the past in favour of future possibilities, as well as the insights of Nick Montfort, poet, digital media artist, and creative computing specialist, who posits that the future ought to be constructed rather than merely anticipated.

Accordingly, this musical composition seeks to craft a narrative that aligns with the concepts Montfort presents in The Future (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge), offering a poetic understanding of the future from an artistic (sound) lens.
