Fans of the cult UK television series Black Mirror—writer Charlie Brooker's powerful exploration of the jet-black underbelly of technology—can immerse themselves in an episode entitled 15 Million Merits in an exhibition due to open at London’s Barbican Centre next month (Into the Unknown: a Journey through Science Fiction, 3 June-1 September). A 6ft-high video installation will fill the main entrance, showing spliced segments from the episode, which depicts a hellish future in which citizens must cycle to generate electricity. The exhibition also includes new commissions by Conrad Shawcross and Trevor Paglen, who will show Orbital Reflector (Diamond Variation) (2017), part of his ongoing Nonfunctional Satellite series.
