'The Consumers of the Future is a commissioned project by White Fungus for Adam Art Gallery, accompanying the exhibitions We Will Work With You! Wellington Media Collective 1978-1998 and Martha Rosler, The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems, 23 October - 21 December/22 January - 10 February 2013.

The contemporary era, we believe, can be best described as a full-blown state of publicity. From our politics, to education, to art itself, publicity is the defining mechanism in their distribution, dissemination and reception. In an age of austerity, one area which cannot receive cutbacks is publicity. Furthermore, all budgeting decisions need to be considered in relation to their publicity effect. The Consumers of the Future explores publicity as a condition and a material.'
