question 1
what will people be doing for a living in the Barents region in 2058?
People will be doing all kinds of shit, whatever there is on offer. In 2058, owning land is going to be as important before, becuase you can make wind turbines and stuff. Just as before, here in Russia and over there in Norway, the governments will be funding inhabitation of the north just to keep the cash flowing from the natural resources. Enough to do whatever up here, and also stay alive.
People will probably work more with computers, and less with reindeer, fish and oil.
Deer Oil is a scenario that describes possible realities about how things could be like in the border area between Norway and Russia 50 years from today.
We wish to reflect on this scenario, question it, and would like to ask for your help and participation by answering some questions.
So please, reply!
Deer Oil is one of three future scenarios about the Pomor Region that have been developed under the title Barents 2058 which is a project developed by the Bergen School of Architecture, Norway.
The three scenarios that conform this project will be exhibited in Nikel, Russia on saturday the 24th of January and in Kirkenes, Norway on saturday 31st of January. This space is a part of the exhibition of the project.
