Yesterday’s Future is an installation about tomorrow, with eyes from yesterday. As information, technology and architecture dynamically and rapidly progresses through time, traces of unfinished, raw progress and evolution are left behind. A monolithic tree of screens epitomises information lost in time, echoes of the forthcoming that never made it into the future.

The installation was part of the exhibition Swarming Futures for the London Festival of Architecture 2010. Curated by Ricardo de Ostos the exhibition explores how unique associations between mainstream and underground forces can open new fields for innovative buildings and city planning in Brazil.
