Introduction to the Future

This blog is a journal that will document the process of starting The Future Unincorporated, a homeless corporation in Haukivuori, Finland. I am an artist in residence at Saksala Artradius for December 07/ January 08.

The Future Unincorporated is a corporation operated by one employee. It is a consulting firm, and it will be temporarily based in a building on the edge of the forest in Haukivuori. The main focus of the corporation will be to create a conversation about the future of Haukivuori and the world with people that live here.After a few weeks of wandering in the forest looking for the most appropriate space for a Consulting Firm, I found a small abandoned house just southwest of my residence. It was an old pump house built on top of the well. A fire had burned a hole in the roof (making a very nice skylight) and ruined the pump, causing the building to be abandoned for a few years. It will be a great office. A real fixer-upper, but it already has some of its old snap back. It is permanently under repair, but open during construction.
