Future Nostalgia is a glimpse into a distilled and fragmented sense of time and place. Our relationship to the environment and urban space is reflected and reevaluated through ephemeral time-based works. At the foundation of the events are artists and works that evoke a critical perspective on the urban situation, while offering a poetic view on our city’s transient landscape. The featured works and performances, presented by artists who live and work in urban environments, are intimate dialogues between the cityscape, audience and their non-linear present moment.

For the 2011 Shenzhen-HK Biennale, New York-based multimedia production agency Opalnest has programmed a dynamic line of special projects that explore key themes of the architectural biennale, bringing the audience a sensory experience that blurs the line between intermedia art and the acoustics of city jungles.

Artists bios and works:

Threshing, seeding, weaving, painting, carving or fishing, bodies and hands are set in a relentless and often impersonalized motion that creates a hypnotic tapestry of repeated gestures and diversified techniques of immense choreographic beauty. The Movement of People Working, shot in the mid-70s, has been frequently used as a visual accompaniment to Niblock's live music performances, and it is arguably both the least obvious and the best possible screen expression of his musical vision.
Niblock's soundtrack, recorded between 1975 and 1980, features the author's characteristic multi-layered "drone" immersions in which one radiant, glowing sound-object is sent into a dynamic but imperceptible chain of simultaneously minuscule and overarching transformations that constantly challenge distinctions between motion and quietude. Despite the apparent contrast between the two dimensions of labor, there is a deep but unfathomable correspondence between the succession of these bright fragmented images and the illusory continuity of Niblock's aural radiance: as if the slow, minute gestures of the hands and torsos that weave and thresh find an unexpected double in the tactile and intricate movement of the musician's workings.

alva noto’s new album univrs [/ˈjuːnɪ,vɜːs/] is focussed on the conceptual differentiation of a universal language ('universum/universal' = unity, entirety). For the track uni acronym alva noto works again with the french voice artist Anne-James Chaton. The track and video is based on a number of 208 three-letter acronyms (set in alphabetical order) creating a random narrative.

His works have been shown at national and international major exhibitions in prestigious galleries and museums.
