Description What should art say to infinity? Forever Now is a golden record for the 21st Century, compiled and designed by a cross-disciplinary team of artists and curators. Forever Now unleashed a 1-year open call for submissions that concluded with the commission of original sound and audiovisual artworks. The content of the record was launched with a screening, concert and digital broadcast at MOFO in January 2015 In the footsteps of the Voyager Golden Records, sent into space in 1977 by NASA as a record of culture and science at that time, Forever Now seeks to investigate our current historical moment. It re-imagines this curatorial act as experimental, politically charged and for the first time places artists at the democratic centre of speaking on humanity.
