The first “Q” in the title references “Telex: Q&A”—a project organized in 1971 by New York-based E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology) as part of the exhibition “Utopia & Visions: 1871–1981” at Moderna Museet, Stockholm. E.A.T. envisioned “a world-wide people-to-people communication link to explore aspects of life in 1981”, and it involved the installment of telex machines in four cities around the globe; in Stockholm, New York, Tokyo, and Ahmedabad. Local participants from each city were then invited to send questions (and suggested answers) via telex about 1981 – ten years into the future – to the other sites. The second “Q” in the title stands for the new questions that are produced in the present (so far, in 2012 and 2018).
