Anne Bonny seemed a good enough name for the starship, actually for the Ark. The Ark infact was going to carry out an exploratory function out in the universe but also sort of ambassadorial function too. Human, Animal, vegetable, mineral species from the planet earth would be collected and preserved in the ark. Surely for experimentation but also for purely historical reasons. This was who and what we were when we left in 2050 AD…. | Anne Bonny seemed a good enough name for the starship, actually for the Ark.

A series of events from the simple start in the technologies and systems we have for the work we do (here and now, Times Up and all that), then visiting friends and family between Europe and Australia gets slower until I end up on one of these slow boats. As issues arise, I change boats to get to different places, but never in time, so I realise that most “urgent issues” are not really that urgent and we wind up on the first big raft, making stuff up as we go along, maintaining a mixture of engineering and entertainment, | A series of events from the simple start in the technologies and systems we have for the work we do (here and now, Times Up and all that), then visiting friends and family between Europe and Australia gets slower until I end up on one of these slow boats.

Tina: I learn to cook - even learnt to enjoy doing it, much to my surprise, as well as I occasionally join the film-crew on the ark, either documenting what is happening on the “madeira-seized” ark or re-interpreting and visualizing the fake news from the journalist team. But, mainly I’ll be occupied by strolling through the ark, observing and enjoying what I see and get carried away with my thoughts. | Tina: I learn to cook - even learnt to enjoy doing it, much to my surprise, as well as I occasionally join the film-crew on the ark, either documenting what is happening on the “madeira-seized” ark or re-interpreting and visualizing the fake news from the journalist team.

+ | Julian: I made the mistake of following my flaky girlfriend onto the Ark, blinded by love. (We broke up soon afterward and she returned to land.) While at first I was skeptical, I made it through my initial period of self-imposed isolation and found my place on the Ark writing press releases and setting up a spontaneous translation system. When I met Ann Bonny I realized that I had met her before - as an undergraduate in the 2030s, when she was a charismatic and iconoclastic visiting professor. We renewed our friendship on the Ark and have been close ever since. In the prehearsal I will be helping the recruitment effort by seeking out those people who seem least suitable and least willing to join - because I see myself in them, and I believe they offer the most potential in the long run. | ||

In 2014 I was facilitating a futures workshop at xCoAx as a member of FoAM, that back then was a network with studios in different countries. When it was time to set-off and live on water, we floated towards each other and actually spent more time together than while living on land (with thanks to our dear anonymous ship magnate @traintoextinctification. We continued our work with prototyping possible futures in the present, and one of the possible futures was in fact Annbonny' | ||

+ | It was Ann Bonny who convinced me that I should join the crew as an ambassador of Earth-bound Third Culture, a living example of intertwingularity and an early warning sign in unproductive (or dangerous) conflict situations.
