During QUTs annual Robotronica festival , we had the opportunity to establish a first expeditionary base camp. Using our newly constructed Weltmaschine - a device that helps us simulate possible future realities, we encouraged visitors to share their thoughts on technological development and possible future scenarios. From the data gathered, and using the Weltmaschine in its first incarnation, we generated a poem of the future.
