What strikes me the most about my source material, Back To The Future, is the fundamental misunderstanding Marty has about the past, in particular- their technology. He struggles to open a glass coke bottle, the jukebox is a mystery, while he believes he knows what the past is- he has no idea what the time is like outside of generalization and stereotypes.
We currently live in the time of Avatar, 3D TVs available to the masses, even Justin Beiber's movie is premiering in 3D (if that doesn't scream The End Is Nigh, I don't know what does). In as little as 30 years out, I believe people will view our time as a people obsessed with creating false images and though the standard Blue/Red glasses have become passe to us (we've moved onto the all black Buddy Holly type glasses)- that's the immediate association with 3D and it would be easy to confuse our time as one wearing those around.
Deliverables:
Creating a set of digital images composed of 3D images of trash in Islais Creek (what's left of it) in 500 years. These will be viewable using 3D glasses and they will be displayed on a digital photo frame which rotates through the images.
The majority of waste we found in our explorations during the midterm were paper (mostly food wrappers), plastics, and e-waste. I'd like to reflect how the future will handle these items, I'm assuming food and packaging will continue to be important to humans even 500 years in the future.
I'm working with Kate (kind of) in that our projects are operating under the same universe, like how all Kevin Smith films are interrelated to each other. Our grand scheme is optical illusions in displaying information. I'm focusing on what would be the more 'advanced' optical illusions.
