Future Fossil Spring Talk 1: Time and Transformation

What happens to materials over time? A conversation with Jan Zalasiewicz, Andy Merritt & Mama D Ujuaje hosted by Caroline Till

Caroline Till hosts a conversation with Jan Zalasiewicz, Andy Merritt and Mama D Ujuaje exploring our understanding of permanence and transience and learning about and through the materials of Future Fossil. The Talk asks how materials are transformed by time, investigates what the materials of the future might look and feel like and ultimately thinks about how we might develop new ways of relating to the physical world in the future based on the activities of earlier human cultures.

Future Fossil is a new public artwork for Oxley Park, Milton Keynes realised by artists Something & Son and launching late spring 2021. Commissioned by Milton Keynes Council.
