On March 28th, Avant.org hosted a day-long program on the critical history of Simulation, tracing its conceptual development and influence on our perception of the future.
The day began with a ranger tour of the San Francisco Bay Model constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1956, followed by a salon and archival film screening at Headlands Center for the Arts where we discussed those unrealized futures, the agency of the model, and current research in the field of simulation.
To capture and share the research, we’ve edited a clip combining historical footage from the Bay Model with the documentation from our tour and a transcription of the salon at Headlands Center for the Arts led by Javier Arbona (Demilit) and Chris Woebken (Extrapolation Factory).
