As the Storyteller from the Future, Karen Palmer takes the viewers on a journey through a series of broadcasts beamed back from the future, warning us of what’s to come through her immersive film experiences.
The broadcasts show the artist in conversation with a behavioral psychologist, an elite parkour coach and a techno activist to shed insight into the methodology and purpose of her work at this particularly crucial time, with some of the dominant themes being fear, surveillance, race, digital civil liberties and AI.
