Nineteen Seventyfive
This originally began as a watch face design, and became a print. In the future we are floating in mobile cities, building communities underwater, and soaring into deepest depths of space. We can tame hurriances, feed millions with super-concentrates, and power the world from the oceans. You can wear the power of a supercomputer inside your wristwatch, and everyone is trained from childhood to be telepathic and communicate across any distance. The future is a place where anyone’s true identity can exist, a place where individuals can contemplate a future shaped by their own dreams and talents. Or this is a dystopian future with an all seeing multimedia eye shapes our dreams and desires, cascades of pharmaceuticals modify our freewill and happiness, and governments create perpetual war to maintain a fear culture and dependence on a bloated government. Either path our past in no longer our future.
