Goop! (2012)

Rurality Bites

“In 2007, for the first time in history, more people were living in cities than in rural areas. If we imagine the migration and breeding patterns to continue exponentially, we can imagine a world, as Ballard did with his short story ‘Billenium’, where generations of citizens live only in cities. How might these future urbanites understand agriculture, farming, landscape, animals? How might they be educated or in what ways might they gain access to the areas beyond the outskirts?”

Goop! illustrates a dystopian future scenario where people have to live with limited resources of nature due to pollutions by showing a television cooking show.
