What does the future look like?" This is a question we often lose ourselves in. But, seldom do we really examine the possibilities. The Futures Project by The Busride Lab and Design Fabric is considering the possibilities not in a fantastic, but a more substantial vein. And, towards that end they are using artistic fiction as a device. Ayaz Basrai, founder of The Busride Design studio calls it a "multi-headed project". "We are excited about where it can go. India is on the brink of a rather large revolution. I don't think we've quite grasped the magnitude of change that's headed our way. It's unsettling and exciting at the same time," he says.

The idea is to create a systems map for the year 2035, through detailed visualisation, bringing into play more collaborations, student engagement, projects, and prototypes. Think relationships between developments in science and technology and esoteric culture paradigms like the after-death, marginalised communities and art.
