A few days after the end of Lift09, here is a first video which is actually a condensed of the short interview we made.

Only one question: "Where did the future go?"

And the answer from Nicolas Nova, Fabio Sergio, Daniel Kaplan, Remy Bourganel, Charles Nepote, Juliana Rotich and 5 other people we're missing the name so please don't hesitate and add it in a comment.

Lift Interviews - Where did the future go? from Axel Morales on Vimeo.

Thanks to all those who played the game.

Other videos are coming .... soon.

We had this workshop yesterday; about designing future hybrid cities, we all split into groups on different topics such as, “endless energy city”, “ ambient city”, etc.

I ended up in the nomadic city group, and so right now I guess you must be asking yourself but what is a nomadic city ??...well, actually defining this was kind of the point of this workshop...And so we had this long brainstorming with so many interesting but very abstract question, it started by understanding whether we were talking about people nomadism through the cities or the city being nomad itself.

But even once you’ve chosen one of those path, it’s absolutely not an answer, it’s more like a hundred more question and so the brainstorming went on and on and on and on and I‘ve got to tell that I haven’t been focused from the beginning to the end.

What I know is that people had different conception of what makes a city, for some people it was about infrastructure moving through space and / or time, without border, this can basically be shop or other stuff with very short temporality ( imagine that every single shops , restaurants, institutions changed every month, continuously, how could you feel the belonging to a city, wouldn’t that be some kind of nomadism? The extreme example of that are some huge festival like The Burning Man, where a city emerge in a few days and disappears few days later.
