Altered Timelines 

Curated and produced by Prototype  

Eight video artists think through time, scramble history, remix the past and reach for possible futures.

Sam Smith dives into deep time in Gotland Island, a rocky archipelago of extractive and anthropogenic symbolism.

Pilar Mata Dupont stages an impossible conversation between two of last century’s titans.

Conor Bateman constructs a theoretically never-ending loop of sliced movie-theatre scenes from 20th Century horror films.

Sarah Hadley splices cinema history, searching for moments of order, fear and authoritarianism that speak to the experience of lockdown and plague in 2020.

Amelia Hine projects a scifi cityscape overtaken by insect overlords.

Robert Nugent imagines this continent after an empire has ended.

And Hannah Bronte posits a luxe, tropical future led by artists.
