V&A asks: what will Europe look like in 2,000 years?

Imagine Europe in 2,000 years, when citizenship can be downloaded onto your smartphone and Brexit is something you read about in history e-books. An exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London does just that. The museum joined with the Goethe-Institut to commission 12 artists to create works that depict the future or imagine how our lives might appear to people in the year 4017. Participants, including the Raqs Media Collective from India and Tu Wei-Cheng from Taiwan, have created interactive tours, musical interventions, sculptures and pocket-sized publications that have been installed throughout the museum. The project is part of the week-long festival Collecting Europe (1-7 February).
