The article discusses LACMA’s “Home of the Future” exhibition, which explores how advertisements and design from the 1920s to the 1970s sold an optimistic vision of technological utopias for domestic life. It highlights how innovations in appliances, furniture, and architecture promised convenience, health, and progress, but often reinforced social exclusion and environmental costs. The exhibition traces these evolving visions through various eras, emphasizing that while technology was marketed as liberating, it frequently increased dependence and maintained social inequalities, a pattern that persists today in modern smart-home and AI products.
