At Arnolfini it is presented as a research and exhibitions programme investigating envisionings of the future, looking at the role of architecture and the infrastructure of the built environment within this.

The Futurology exhibition programme, starts with The Good Life and continues with Tommy Støckel and Sequelism later in 2009.
