Obtaining knowledge about future events has always been a human phantasy. Literature and film have thus imagined media to visualize the future. Fictional "time machines" (from the ancient seers such as Teiresias in Sophocles Oedipus to H.G. Wells' famous contraption in Time Machine and today's touchscreens as displayed in Minority Report) have modeled the possibility of gaining knowledge about the future as a form of "visualizing" it. In modernity, film has become the paradigmatic medium that seems to enable a grasp on the future through time axis manipulation. The talk will give a brief outline of the history of modeling foresight and elaborate this in more detail on behalf of Steven Spielberg's Minority Report (2002). Minority Report succinctly elucidates the media technologies at the basis of foresight as a form of "premediation" of future events in images (V. Grusin). At the same time the film elaborates the ethical and political aporias inherent in the desire to know the future in order to pre-empt it.
