DESCRIPTION
Investing in Futures is a project that helps you imagine future worlds—wild, impractical, idyllic,
and utopian—and what it would be like to live in them. The project includes a deck of playing cards that can
be used in world-building workshops (by yourself or facilitated by us), and artworks that we produce using the
cards. Some of the futures inspired by the Investing in Futures deck may be possible and others may
seem insane. (The world we already live in, in reality, is insane and would be hard to invent.)
More&More Unlimited (an Illogistics Company™) has conducted workshops since the 2016 election at NADA Art
Fair, in our Brooklyn studio, and at colleges and conferences (University of Rochester, Haverford, and New
York University). In February 2017 we ran a successful Kickstarter campaign. We are now focusing our attention
on new uses for Investing in Futures, including a Futures cookbook and An Archive of Parallel
Futures.
