Speculative Tourism

Speculative Tourism creates site-specific audio city walks, often styled as guided tours from a future that has yet to come. They operate at the crossroads of science fiction, historical tourism, Augmented Reality and community activism.

Working with local authors, Speculative Tourism use fiction and speculation to reveal different ways to take responsibility for our habitats and to create a renewed sense of understanding for our everyday environments. Their work aspires to free our political imaginations.

Speculative Tourism was created by duo Mushon Zer Aviv (1976, IL) and Shalev Moran (1985, IL). Mushon Zer-Aviv is a designer, researcher, educator and media activist based in Tel Aviv. Shalev Moran is a game designer and artist based in Copenhagen. With their backgrounds in digital design, their audio work is also a response to current trends in prediction technology, Augmented Reality, futurism and other technological trends affecting culture and society.
