Future Remote 2014 at the City of Science

With Future Remote 2014 we will be able to discover the sea and its depths through an exhibition that includes exhibitions, documentaries and a film festival

The traditional Neapolitan event " Futuro Remoto. A Journey Through Science and Science Fiction" is now in its 28th year and will take place in the Città della Scienza . This major annual project aims to disseminate scientific and technological culture, making it accessible to everyone.

This year too, all the events will revolve around a common theme , and this year's theme will be the Sea . This theme will be explored through a huge exhibition space spanning approximately 1000m2, which will include lectures, debates, and meetings with scientists, scientific and creative workshops, performances, and a film and documentary program.

The main exhibitions of the whole event will be two: GNAM - Mare and Orizzonte Mare.
The inaugural event will be held tonight 31 October 2014, while all the event will last until November 9.

GNAM Mare

The event is promoted by the Campania Region's Department of Agriculture, Forestry, Hunting, and Fishing with the aim of raising consumer awareness of fishery and aquaculture products. Aimed especially at younger audiences, the exhibition aims to educate about the healthy and proper consumption of seafood, focusing on the most commonly used fishing techniques and engaging with visitors through a series of interactive installations. Visitors can also explore the topic in greater depth through aquariums and touch tanks, virtual and augmented reality , and multimedia technologies. This way, visitors can immerse themselves in a realistic journey along the seabed.

Among the most particular events there will be what allows the life and strategies of vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, even discovering in detail the life of a mussel.

More information is available on the page dedicated to GNAM Mare.

Sea horizon

The second most important exhibition of the event was born from the participatory planning of citizens and scientists who, working together, gave life to the 8 exhibition sections that accompany the public to discover the themes of research and responsible innovation applied to the sea.
The journey will begin at the entrance, where it will be possible to download themultimedia application which will allow interaction with the exhibits present

Then you will walk through the rooms discovering a large digital globe that will show in real time the atmospheric and biological phenomena related to the sea, you will observe the underwater volcanic phenomena, you will understand the functioning of submarine robots and talk about renewable energy.
