Futurama

Four cars are parked in the rear courtyard of Beit Canada. Visitors are invited to get inside, take a seat, and listen to original radio-art works broadcast via FM frequency through the cars’ radio systems.

The four works, by Naomi Weisselberg, Shilo Rabin, Tai Rona, and Latifa Punk, explore the boundaries of the radio medium and reflect on the realities of Israel in 2026 through a lens of curiosity, solidarity, and compassion. The installation takes its name from Futurama, General Motors’ pavilion at the 1939 World’s Fair, where visitors were invited to imagine the world of the future. Here, the cars go nowhere. Visitors sit inside, listen, and, from within the present, try to imagine possibilities for a different future.

Naomi Weisselberg is a sound artist, performance artist, and DJ, and a member of the audiovisual duo nūn. Shilo Rabin is a sound artist, composer, writer, and DJ. Partners in life and artistic collaboration, their work moves between radio art, field recordings, electronic music, voice, and text. They are also among the founders of Radio Musrara in its current incarnation.
