Will Things Ever Change

We seem to always anticipate a better future, but this future never came. Permanently stuck in a state of existential waiting like we’re ‘waiting for Godot’, longing for a future that is perhaps already slowly ‘cancelled’ under late capitalism according to Franco “Bifo” Berardi (Haynes, 2020), where life continues but time has somehow stopped, yet the future we yearn for remains elusive, perpetually deferred - Are we stuck in this cycle of repetition? Will things ever change?
Will things ever change? Is a duo channel video installation made from found footage. Using pix2pix and next-frame-prediction as a tool for its mediation, the model predicts the next 0.04 seconds into the future every frame, creating images in a ‘perpetual becoming’ (Willis, 2022), a constant flux - flowing, morphing, and evolving, capturing an uncanny visual experience that depict crises on different levels - from societal to personal, to emphasise a state of unrest and anxiety for the future.
