Sphere of action

TIME TRAVEL WATER 2050 is part of OVERTURES, a series of wide-ranging art projects started by artcircolo in 2000 that reflect the changing role of resources. OVERTURES stand for multidisciplinary 'approaches' and unorthodox 'food for thought', in which technicians, scientists, economic and media specialists and most importantly artists and curators are drawn into dialogue.

By emphasising the artistic element, it is possible to filter the suggested actions aesthetically in the most open form of communication possible and relay them back to society. In their most recent and once again preeminent discourse on TIME TRAVEL WATER 2050, OVERTURES are primarily concerned with implementing visions and futuristic scenarios in a creative manner to effect a change of values in dealing with water.
