Type the Future
An outdoor project by ±
near Maus Habitos. Praça dos Poveiros.
What can be written about the future? Anything and everything.
We will build the word “FUTURO”, large-size in a public space, through the merging of dozens of characters that can be re-arranged by anyone, in order to convey new words and sentences.
These characters can be moved around the space and thus materialize the individuals ideas through deconstruction, re-contextualization, reinvention. The Futuro/Future thus becomes an endless construction of forms and content.

Tune in Futura: Car Tuning Orchestra
A concert performed by cars.
@ Garagem Passos Manuel. Rua Passos Manuel 178
Tune In Futura @ 91.5 MHz is a live invitation to listen and participate. Nowadays radio lives mostly in cars, one of the remaining spaces where radio waves still rule unquestioned. Tune In Futura is a continuous challenge throughout the whole futureplaces festival, but it converges in this concert. On the top floor of the Passos Manuel Garage, three cars will “speak”, tuned in to 91.5FM, addressing the audience with all their available potency through their custom-made sound systems. The Radio and the Car rehearse a performative symbiosis, as literal and symbolic vehicles for the expression of the festival´s participating musicians, in a celebration of above-ground culture.
12am onwards
The City as an Organ
Concert based on the experiments of prior jam sessions. Directed by Digitopia.
