New York 2044 is a speculative social sculpture in the form of an online and print newspaper conceived of by the artist, writer, and organizer Noah Fischer. Commissioned by More Art, Fischer’s research-based artwork takes the form of a newspaper that proposes the city we want to inhabit in 2044, and how to get there, with articles reported from the imagination of the city’s inhabitants.
From Urban Omnibus:
“It’s the year 2044, and New Yorkers are commemorating the tenth anniversary of the MAGA regime’s fall from national power. It is a solemn day, but after a dark period of deportations, arrests, killings, and the deadliest flood in US history, the city is healing. Noah Fischer reports this scene from the future in the third and final issue of his speculative newspaper project, New York 2044, commissioned by More Art. We spoke to Fischer about the project and his worldbuilding methodology, interviewing deeply engaged New Yorkers (activists, architects, elected officials, engineers, policymakers, and many more …) and inviting them to imagine what the city might be like in twenty years’ time. Fischer then drafted newspaper articles reporting on what could happen in the realms of housing, immigration, and now energy, environment, climate, and public health, based on their speculation. In the “power issue,” we learn that New York City now runs on offshore wind, solar, and thermal energy, with democratically controlled utilities; that big box stores and commercial warehouses are now compelled to pay for the runoff the produce, funding green infrastructure across the city; and that Governors Island is a self-sufficient, autarkic lab for degrowth.”
