poster Researchlabs 2024: Leiden University
'I am glad the world is ending, I am so proud of the successes of our dominant human species. I am hopeful to see our growing reliance on AI and restorative technology.

I am so excited to witness the climate’s ultimate crescendo. I am so pleased that the end of this material world will ease the transition to the new way of living, to a digital future.'

This cinematic experience will feature video works that bounce off each other in a grappling, gruelling examination of earth’s path and eventual destiny. The tension of earth’s demise will be addressed and put to rest as we will open up our micro-plastic hearts to a world that won’t end. Join us as our bin bag orchestra and help herald a new dystopia. The climate countdown party can’t start without you!
