in his Formulas For Now project, über curator Hans Ulrich Obrist asked thinkers, artists and others to come up with a formula for the 21st century. as listed in the periodic table index shown here, contributors ranged from artists like Gilbert & George through to scientists like James Crick, who co-discovered the structure of DNA. their contributions vary from pretty clever to kind of half-assed, but the finished book (published this month by Thames & Hudson) provides an unique insight and, as Obrist puts it, “asks a very fundamental question of us all: what is your formula for now?” (answers to the usual address)
