On March 28th AVANT.org will host a day-long program of critical history and analysis, tracing development and influence of simulation on our perception of the future. The program will begin with a ranger tour of the San Francisco Bay Model constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1957, followed by a salon and archival film screening at Headlands Center for the Arts where we will discuss unrealized futures and current research in the field of simulation. Curated by Chris Woebken (Extrapolation Factory) and Javier Arbona (Demilit) with accompanying essays to be published on AVANT.org. We also welcome guests to join us on a bike ride from the Bay Model in Sausalito to Headlands Center, though a car will be available to take a limited number from Sausalito if they decide to arrive by bus or ferry. Schedule: noon - b.y.o. picnic planned (weather permitting), more info soon. 1 pm - Bay Model Tour in Sausalito **Please arrive 15m early to start on time** 3 pm - Salon at the Headlands Center
