Grabek — Wonderfully Archaic. 2025 : Future Archive.

My series​ Material Speculation: ISIS​ is a 3D modeling and 3D printing project focused on the reconstruction of 12 selected statues from the Roman period city of Hatra and Assyrian artifacts from Nineveh that were destroyed by ISIS in 2015 in a series of highly-publicized YouTube videos. The series goes beyond metaphoric gestures and digital and material forms of the artifacts by including a flash drive and a memory card inside the body of each 3D-printed object. Like time capsules, each object is sealed (though accessible) for future civilizations. The information in these flash drives includes images, maps, PDF files, and videos gathered on the artifacts and sites that were destroyed.

The game it proposes – to imagine oneself in a desirable future some 20-30 years ahead, and to remember the present from there – is simple and fun. This simple method helps us learn about the possibilities and limits of our present, our imagination and desires. It can help us talk about projections, fantasies and fears whilst playing. The future archive is also a serious research project on imaginaries of the future, at a situated level as well as at a more historical level. The future of course doesn’t exist, it is what we imagine to not yet exist, what we think is to come. It’s our present crossed and extended by hopes, desires, fears, project(ion)s.
