Gotofuturism offers a conceptual lens for the current period marked by multiple crises—from armed conflicts and the rise of right-wing regimes to climate catastrophe and widespread social fatigue. It functions as an artistic strategy for coping with feelings of hopelessness while seeking new forms of engaged imagination. The concept emerges from historical avant-garde and post-avant-garde traditions and is positioned between a critical revision of the past and active engagement with the present. Through painting and object-based work, it examines issues such as the phenomenon of post-truth, growing financial precarity, and the rising influence of revisionist powers.
