What Does Your Future Hold? (2026) by INSA

Mural with augmented reality on 143 Watton St, Werribee

About the artwork

Created by British artist INSA, What Does Your Future Hold? transforms a mural into a playful exploration of technology, possibility and the art of predicting the future.

Combining bold visual patterns with augmented reality (AR), the mural reimagines the traditional fortune teller for the digital age. Inspired by local ideas and wildlife, INSA has developed a series of ‘lucky’ icons that invite audiences to engage with the artwork in an unexpected way.

Developed from INSA’s love of Bolivian architect, Freddy Mamani’s striking geometry and sense of optimism, INSA explores a retro-futuristic aesthetic that is reflected in the shop front design and low-poly 80s inspired icons. In this work, INSA imagines a future that feels colourful, expressive and unrestricted. 

Through augmented reality, the mural reimagines the traditional wheel of fortune as a ‘wall of fortune’, with the facade becoming a game of chance and prediction - a shop window offering glimpses of possible pathways. Blending familiar symbols with emerging technology, the work creates an interactive experience beyond just a painted wall. 

Rather than offering definitive predictions, the symbols leave room for interpretation, like traditional horoscopes, encouraging audiences to roll the dice and consider the possibilities that lie ahead.

Part of a contemporary conversation about futurism, creativity and innovation, What Does Your Future Hold? invites the community to interact with public art in new ways. It asks us to look beyond what seems predetermined and imagine a future shaped by our own choices, hopes and ambitions.

Artist statement

For this work, I wanted to take the idea of futurism in my practice — using technology and augmented reality to experience my murals — and twist it towards something more whimsical: the idea of predicting the future!

While conversations around technology and the future can often feel daunting, I’m interested in imagining technology as it was once idealised: a free, open and accessible space, full of possibility. I wanted to combine these new possibilities with the much older tradition of fortune telling.

The mural becomes a kind of digital fortune teller. I created a series of ‘lucky’ icons inspired by local communities and wildlife. Through augmented reality, the mural transforms into a shop window ready to offer you your prediction — an experience somewhere between the familiar and the futuristic.

Rather than telling you what your future will be, the ambiguity of these symbols invites you to imagine it for yourself. In a world where our futures can feel increasingly predetermined, this is a space to consider what comes next — on your own terms.

So, what does your future hold?

What does our future hold?

You tell me.
