My Son Was Standing There

In the 1950s a man said he could enter a trance state and communicate with sentient beings from Mars. He founded the Aetherius Society.

This track uses recordings of an interview with him, made in the 1960s.

Adam Curtis wrote a blog about it a few years ago:

Glitches

Music commissioned for ‘Relax into 2050- Adventures in an Optimistic Future’, a playful installation set in a flourishing future where nature and technology work in harmony. A future collectively built with airship rides, bountiful rewilded nature and AI-led cures for many of our ills.

Step into the dream dome, lie back and enjoy the mesmerising patterns made by you and your fellow humans.

Listen to the soothing sounds of humanity travelling forward in time, not to a dystopian destination, but to a possible one where it’s actually all OK.

Look around the dome to read about the ways people in Barrow and beyond are already building this future.

The exhibition is inspired by the Solarpunk art movement which imagines a world in which existing technologies are deployed for the greater good of both people and planet.
