Dissident Futures presents art that investigates possible alternative futures, particularly those that question or overturn conventional notions of innovation, such as existing power, economic and technological structures. The artists and designers in Dissident Futures have the intellectual capacity and aesthetic innovation to envision a future that expands beyond our expectations. The concept is loosely structured intro three thematic strands--the utopian, the speculative and the pragmatic--with each strand providing a platform for furthering our understanding of how artists are addressing the unknown. Featured artists include Neil Beloufa, Heman Chong & Anthony Marcellini, Peter Coffin, Cohen Van Balen, Brody Condon, Future Cities Lab, Melanie Gilligan, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Shane Hope, David Huffman, Paul Laffoley, Basim Magdy, Dan Mills, The Otolith Group, Trevor Paglen, Katie Paterson, Kamau Amu Patton, Connie Samaras and Cauleen Smith.

Wired asked more than 100 experts to assess the most favored future fantasies of our time, including an AIDS vaccine, contact with extraterrestrial intelligence, a cancer cure, food tablets, and the paperless office. Reality Check reveals the real future. 75 duotone photos.</p>
