PROGRAMME DAY I
FOR A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE , LOOK TO THE PRESENT - PART I Contemporary cities are fertile soil for science and technology , for culture and innovation , for individual and collective development . However , cities are also places where problems such as Noise-Air-Light-Odour pollution , poverty , unemployment and exclusion run rife . How do artists cope with these challenges ? How do they explore major themes such as ( over ) consumption , globalization and virtualization , resource scarcity , social and economic inequality , privatization and commercialization ? Are these challenges an instrument for imagining the future city , to criticize society and / or present possibilities for improvement ?
