SFS 2042 is a window into the future of 20 years from now. It is an attempt at imagining the future neighbourhood and what shapes the attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of its residents. The SFS 2042 project involved engaging residents through speculative art and design in public spaces to explore the future of a neighbourhood. The project starts with understanding speculations, exploring context, working on methodologies and production, and culminating in installation of public art and design. It included various activities and involved the use of basic electronics such as Arduinos, with the final outcome being the interactive installations of public art in the neighbourhood to reflect on the past.
