Saw the Syd Mead Exhibition at the gallery O&O Depot, where many of his Future Cities paintings and sketches were on display.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />It’s fascinating viewing his paintings in the context of the years he painted them (1970s-2000s). There are aspects of both #<span class="p-category auto-tag">utopia</span> and #<span class="p-category auto-tag">dystopia</span>, depending on how you view them, what details on you focus on.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />The paintings pose provocative questions about the implied systems behind the structures and the people.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />What are the economic and political systems that enabled the construction of these cityscapes?<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />What are people’s roles in them, what purposes do they serve, and how are the structures maintained?<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />Could they be maintained by different political systems than those that built them or do they assume or reinforce particular systems?<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />The first photo is the only one that I saw that integrated present city feature (Los Angeles city hall!) into a vision for the near future(1), with multiple generations and layers of construction. Others have apparently completed or fully formed visions.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />There was also only one based on another world(5), likely the moon. Only a few show adjacency with the existing natural environment(3) or integration of planned natural features(6,7). In general the artwork shows fully developed or urbanized environments(2,4,8,9), or an indoor scene: Deckard’s kitchen from Blade Runner(10) lacking any apparent plantlife.<br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />The opening quote is excerpted from “I’ve called science fiction ‘reality ahead of schedule’”, by Syd Mead himself in a 2008 New York Times Interview: <a class="auto-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/23/arts/23iht-lights.1.13118726.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/23/arts/23iht-lights.1.13118726.html</a><br class="auto-break" /><br class="auto-break" />#<span class="p-category auto-tag">art</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">reality</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">SydMead</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">exhibit</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">gallery</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">future</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">painting</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">paintings</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">city</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">cities</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">cityscape</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">cityscapes</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">structures</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">systems</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">2020_028</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">20200128</span> #<span class="p-category auto-tag">noFilter</span>http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2020-01-29T05:12:00+00:002020-01-29T05:12:00+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttp://tantek.com/Tantek San Francisco, CA tag:status.blaise.ca,2020-01-29:objectType=thread:nonce=d86b0f52730d323bhttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/notehttps://tantek.com/2019/258/t1/future-w3c-tpac-improve-webNew note by At #<span class="p-category auto-tag">w3cTPAC</span> this week: <a class="auto-link h-cassis-username" href="https://twitter.com/CSSWG">@CSSWG</a>, #<span class="p-category auto-tag">Future</span> of <a class="auto-link h-cassis-username" href="https://twitter.com/W3C">@W3C</a>, #<span class="p-category auto-tag">WICG</span>.
