FUTURESCAPE documents the work of Lauren Goldie, a 2023 graduate of the annual Muse Residency Program. Since completing the residency, Lauren is undertaking a PhD at Central Saint Martins. The research explores ways sculpture can anticipate speculative technologies and the potential environmental consequences of asteroid mining. Due to the lack of proximity when working within the context of outer space, Lauren uses artistic practice to build tangible familiarity with distant space entities and excavation processes. FUTURESCAPE is influenced by a recent NASA sample retrieval mission to the asteroid Bennu and the ‘Materials International Space Station Experiment’ (MISSE). MISSE is mounted to the exterior of the International Space Station, testing the durability and performance of materials under the extreme conditions of outer space.
