About the exhibition

'SAFE' first opened to the public on the 21st October 2022 at Somerset House, London. The exhibition, designed and curated by Superflux in dialogue with Lloyd’s Register Foundation, brought together a collection of ten artworks celebrating our tenth anniversary year. 

Inspired by Lloyd’s Register Foundation’s rich portfolio of research projects that innovate solutions to the world’s greatest safety challenges – ranging from food scarcity and water infrastructure, to big data and the future of automation – this showcase of films, animations, sculptural forms and sound installations offers an imaginative perspective on an array of real world case studies and anticipated futures.

The exhibition is also available via the below stories.

Illuminating Data

‘Illuminating Data’ is inspired by research from The Foundation's Data-Centric Engineering programme at The Alan Turing Institute. Their digital twin allows for real-time correspondence between the physical engineering system and its digital equivalent.

Shipping Forecast

Imagining a ship’s voyage as it navigates the volatile and uncertain conditions of the ocean, this work juxtaposes the daily routines of the crew alongside a monitoring system that surveys risk on-board.
