A speculative Book of the Future
After it’s public display in the John Curtin Gallery, The Climate Domesday Book has now moved to a temporary home: the new building for the School of Design and the Built Environment, Building 418.
Situated in the staff area of Level 4, the book is on an extended display period for Curtin staff to experience the interactive Book-of-the-Future.
Between 28 March to 8 May 2022, the Climate Domesday Book was exhibited in the John Curtin Gallery in Perth, Western Australia as part of the Energaia: Imagining Energy Futures exhibition curated by Stuart Bender and Rachel Robertson.
Over 2400 visitors experienced work exhibited by lead artists, designers and writers Stuart Bender, Matthew Churlew, Susanna Castleden, Kath Dooley, Philip Ely, Michele Johnston and Thor Kerr.
In addition to the thousands of visitors that were able to see the book in action, approximately 15,000 social media interactions with the Energaia exhibition at John Curtin Gallery took place during the same period. Gallery staff reported a high volume of visitors – particularly children and young adults – enthusiastically took advantage of the hybrid print-digital interaction experience of the book.
