Future U: Patricia Piccinini and Evelyn Tsitas in conversation

Future U featured artist Patricia Piccinini and curator Evelyn Tsitas discuss their work in an Art & Design Salon presented by RMIT Culture and RMIT Gallery.

RMIT Gallery's Future U explores how we as humans navigate the complexity of technological change in the twenty-first century. Creativity, love and intelligence – the aspects of life that make us human – are increasingly under threat as machines reveal themselves to be capable of surpassing human capacity. 

In this RMIT Culture Art & Design Salon, curator Evelyn Tsitas and featured artist Patricia Piccinini explore how their work, and the work highlighted in Future U, offers glimpses into the dreams, speculations and nightmares of a future that is both unlimited and unruly - one which embraces the possibilities of a body and a world that extends beyond our current limitations.

Future U will be open to attendees of the Art & Design Salon until 6pm on Tuesday 22 February, we encourage attendees to view the exhibition before attending the talk. The exhibition closes on Saturday 26 February.
