How To Thrive In 2050: 8 Tentacular Workouts For A Tantalising Future! (Kai Syng Tan 2021) is a 14-minute digital video. The manifesto re-imagines a more creative and inclusive ‘Neurofuturism’, one generation on, by celebrating the neurodiversity of humans (including ‘atypical’ cognitive, processing and communicative modes) and how we can thrive alongside non-humans and nature. Premiered on BBC iPlayer’s Culture in Quarantine in Autumn 2021 as a single-screen video, the work has been played at International Short Film Festival Oberhausen Video Library, Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Market and more. An associated exhibition was held at Attenborough Arts Centre alongside artists like Bob and Roberta Smith. Associated keynote lectures have been held at European League of Institutes of the Arts’ Teachers Academy (ELIA), Luca Art School (Belgium), University Arts London, and more, while masterclasses and discussions have been held with European consortium FUEL4Design, Castlefield Gallery and Universities of Cambridge, Kingston, and also used in teaching and learning at University Creative Arts.

Abstract

How To Thrive In 2050: 8 Tentacular Workouts For A Tantalising Future! (Kai Syng Tan 2021) is a 14-minute digital video. The manifesto re-imagines a more creative and inclusive ‘Neurofuturism’, one generation on, by celebrating the neurodiversity of humans (including ‘atypical’ cognitive, processing and communicative modes) and how we can thrive alongside non-humans and nature. Premiered on BBC iPlayer’s Culture in Quarantine in Autumn 2021 as a single-screen video, the work has been played at International Short Film Festival Oberhausen Video Library, Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Market and more. An associated exhibition was held at Attenborough Arts Centre alongside artists like Bob and Roberta Smith. Associated keynote lectures have been held at European League of Institutes of the Arts’ Teachers Academy (ELIA), Luca Art School (Belgium), University Arts London, and more, while masterclasses and discussions have been held with European consortium FUEL4Design, Castlefield Gallery and Universities of Cambridge, Kingston, and also used in teaching and learning at University Creative Arts.
