Human augmentation already exists with prosthetics and human computer interface, the most recent not requiring any form of surgery. SciFi is rapidly become fact, with DARPA and others like Rex Bionics working closely on tech for military and for the disabled. I had a play on this space in my blog at The Future Diaries, thinking about world games for people with augmented tech.
You are really onto something here. The need for design to illustrate the broad patterns of what is happening and what has been hidden is critical. Not much of a fan of surrealism for this although it is an important part of our information.
Glad you think so. One of the interesting things I took away from the exhibition was that Surrealism wasn’t intended to be fantastical escapism, but instead the goal was to get people to look again at everyday reality
Yes I agree 100%. I was referring to the current need for graphic art to educate the public on specific issues. Guess I have trouble seeing the general public being open to surrealism. That would be great!
