Abstract
Mundane appearances need not signify a mundane world. Surfaces might be recognizable yet whisper of other worlds.
We have been conditioned to see the future through such conventions that fill it with surface markers of unseen, perhaps inoperable technologies. Futurist innovation is only recognized when in the form of technologies and glitzy surfaces or cyber-rotting versions of Western modernity.
Few are the cultural artifacts with environmental futurist imaginaries or those with political arrangements that are immediately outside Euro-modern conventions. Fewer still those that seek to present speculative aesthetics of the everyday, such as those explored here.
