Lucy McRae : Future sensitive (December 6, 2023)37:19

After Hernán Díaz Alonso’s introduction, Lucy McRae characterizes the work of her Los Angeles-based multi-disciplinary art research studio as an investigation into “the impact future tech has on body futurism”. Or, in other words, “I’m building worlds where I feel I belong”.

She discusses projects involving film, sculpture, furniture, conceptual fashion (or wearable architecture) including …
•“LucyandBart”
•“Astronaut Aerobics”
•“Swallowable Parfum”
•“Heavy Duty Love” for Future Sensitive Humans
•“Futurekin” exhibition at SCI-Arc (2022)
•“Delicate spells of mind”, performance film featuring choreography by Jasmine Albuquerque
•“Future Sensitive” exhibition, Honor Fraser Gallery
•“Future Sensitive™” worldbuilding apparel platform

McRae concludes by affirming, “that art is a mixed economy, and it does not fit into a templated business plan – you need to invent that. The business – the practice, the practice of artmaking – is your biggest project.”
