History Tomorrow ~ Printing Press

Old printing press, Bangalore

The colour of the times is changing. The accelerating pace of technological, economic and social change is transforming livelihoods and landscapes; many face a danger of disappearing altogether in the not-so-distant future. We do not think it appropriate to make a normative judgment on whether this change is socially good or bad. However, we do believe that it is important to document the present for future generations that would want to look back at history, just like we do today. Though text-documentation of livelihoods and landscapes is widely available, visual recording and documentation is relatively sparse and dispersed. Given the state of video technology, it is feasible and necessary to effectively document the present, visually. This is the primary objective of HISTORY TOMORROW, an initiative launched by FAIR.
