2010 - The Future Is Now and is happenning in every second we waste in pointless issues. What matters is now and how fast we want to enjoy our future.

Most science fiction novels and stories focus on alternate future or alternative futures where it is believed that the future is toxic. Errr... that the air is no longer breathable (thus the gas mask). In some of my dreams, this is how I portrayed the future. Note that an alternate future is not a possible future; it's merely how someone imagines the future.

What if we could time travel? Would you? Would your future be toxic...?

One way or another the latest fashion adventure from Rezzable mades all think about the future. Some think about their own future, others reflect in the future as a concept and the designers for 2010 - The Future Is Now translated into clothing showing us how they perceived the future.

Cutea Benelli from Grim Bros. created the 3.6 zettabyte complete outfit (including shoes, skin and even shape which I am not using). The outfit is ultramodern with a mini skirt and a small top in a unique texture (that is almost impossible to catch on film.) To top it off, wearing the Ridley hair from Tiny Bird in Milk shade.

Whenever we go, wherever we look, the future is alwayes present. It can be in small everyday work, like see you tomorrow or talk to you later. No matter what we do, we always do it planning ahead knowing that a tomorrow will come. The future exists in our linear conception of time and is yet to occur but it is there, not far. Could you go to sleep at time knowing that there will be no tomorrow...?

Our collective idea of future comes from the past. Decades ago, it was commom believe that the world would be cold, metallic, plastic, neon, vinyl, leather, latex, shiny, cyber. Well, I am still expecting to see it as crude as that. Meanwhile, some designers have shared with us their take for the future.

The opposite of the grungy cyberpunk neko dystopia is a sterile, 2001-style future, clean-lined and vaguely modernist, as if it were forever in a 1960s flick. This kind of future is mirrored in the beautifully made skybox from C&D Designs, the Sky Bar. The couches were a cheeky take on Scan Design or Aems, and the small sections of vegetation definitely rang of contact with alien lifeforms. I walked into this skybox expecting company… Then I realized that they were still on Martian time! Not even the drink-serving droid was there to knock me out a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster.

Shards
1.  A piece of broken pottery, especially one found in an archaeological dig; a potsherd.
2.a. A fragment of a brittle substance, as of glass or metal.
b. A small piece or part: "shards of intense emotional relationships that once existed" (Maggie Scarf).
 

I am always looking forward for the future and when I stop to think about it, I see sci-fi and the futuristic scenarios from movies made decades ago and that we still consider masterpieces, like Blade Runner, where we can let all our wildest dreams run free and imagine that our future will be bright.

Bryn Oh's Vision is coming alive on the Rezable grid!  With 45,000 prim space available at her disposal, her imagination is oozing creativity, as she is creating another one of her amaizng immersive environments.  A work of art you can walk through, immerse yourself in, experience in a way you cannot normally experience art.

When asked to describe her newest installation Bryn had this to say....

There are many way to celebrate, Christmas is just a snap away. Im not through showing you my Top ten favorite gowns. No need to rush though because after Christmas we celebrate new years eve which usually is more Party in terms of like going out. But it doesn't matter if you are more the conservative person or like to stand out, I have something in the inventory for all of you ;)) I guess i can't be categorized, as I appreciate the classic but I am actually pretty edgy and love uniqueness. I also like to tease and that is what I'm doing today :P Showing off a gown that is both classic and edgy, very sexy on top of that. It's for the femme fatale in you. waiting to be let loose. A mixture of gown and sexy party dress. Who better knows how to accomplish this then Indyra Seigo herself. The Queen Of Bootylicious outfits also has a couture line where she features stunning gowns that never miss the spice of sexyness, that you find in all her creations.

 

Let's pretend we are in the so called 'Belle Epoque'. That describes the time when everything is: bigger, better, brighter, saver and richer. On the other hand Marie Antoinette didn't live in a Belle Epoque but still knew how to party...I recently saw the movie started kind of funny and cool. I loved those dresses or better yet gowns big and fluffy with 3 under skirts, corsets and heavy silk awwww. In this time brocade was very popular and still is used allot when it comes to interior design (furniture and wall textures) As I was promising in my last post I will show you my Top ten favorite gowns and the one I have in stock today is definitely in my Top 5 and not just just because it's green...
 

Virtual art............is it real?   Many times over I have heard this question asked.  Of course it is real.   Art is Art no matter where or how it exists.  Virtual art, existing in a virtual world or virtual platform online has the ability to be viewed, touched, explored, and interacted with.   One becomes fully immersed within the environment.  Perhaps  more museums and galleries in the physical world will embrace this art of the future which is quickly becoming art of here and now, and share these immersive environments with their patrons.

Virtual art can be static 3d creations from the artists imagination; a replica of a physical real world piece; a magical morphing, musical sculpture that continually recreates itself into a new piece of art as you view it or an entire immersive environment that involves multi-dimensional builds, interaction, intrigue,  wonderment and discovery.
