This publication presents three essays with case studies sparking reflection on such ideas: Chus Martínez uses the recent ARCOMadrid as an example of what art fairs have become and what philosophical tools such event can provide. Elise Lammer reflects on the concept of human evolution, questioning the role of curiosity and empathy in the safekeeping of atomic waste. Finally, Rosa Lleó discusses experimental education, care, and overlapping temporalities with Santiago Alba Rico, philosopher and scriptwriter of a now cult 1980s Spanish TV program for children. Alongside the three texts are included images of works by nineteen artists featured in The Future, the exhibition at the origin of this project, as well as a excerpt from La bola de cristal, the TV show whose true intention was to teach satirical Marxism to children.
