Nothing New Here

Yesterday I took a walk through the internet and stumbled upon these really good modelmakers. Giant diorama of the future (1960) created in the past(1939)

The Futurama was an exhibit/ride at the 1939-40 New York World's Fair held in the United States, designed by Norman Bel Geddes that tried to show the world 20 years into the future (1960), including automated highways and vast suburbs. The exhibit was sponsored by General Motors. Compared to other "visions of the future", Bel Geddes' was rather achievable - the most advanced technology posited was the automated highway system, of which GM did indeed build a working prototype by 1960.

The Futurama is widely held to have first introduced the general American public to the concept of a network of superhighways connecting the nation. Bel Geddes expounded upon his design in his book Magic Motorways.

An updated version, Futurama II, appeared at the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair. The 1964 version depicted life 60 years into the future, this time 2024. Scenes showed a lunar base of operation, an Antarctic "Weather Central" climate forecasting center, underseas exploration and "Hotel Atlantis" for underseas vacationing, desert irrigation, and land reclamation, building roads in the jungle and a City of the Future. Visitors rode through the dioramas in 3-abreast chairs on a ride train. The Futurama exhibit was again sponsored by General Motors and proved to be the most popular exhibit at the World's Fair with more than 26 million persons attending the show in the two 6-month seasons the Fair was open. Waiting lines were often two hours long and longer.[citation needed]

The Futurama is featured in Steven Barnes' novelization of the popular Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Far Beyond the Stars". In addition, the animated series Futurama was named after the 1939 exhibit.

LABAN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: THE DYNAMIC BODY IN SPACE

Recently finished a series of 3D animations in collaboration with Johan Stjernholm
and under the supervision of Valerie Preston Dunlop.
The project will feature at Laban this weekend
as part of LABAN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: THE DYNAMIC BODY IN SPACE
and will soon be on sale as a DVD, in selected locations and online.
Parts of work will also be included in the DVD
Living Architecture: The spiritual dimension of Laban’s space harmony practice

here's a sample:

new lunar rover

http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/esmd/home/black_point.html

http://blogs.nasa.gov/cm/blog/NASA%20EDGE%20BLOG/

this is the latest design for a vehicle that will explore the moon's surface
when humans go back there again, around 2020, hopefully.
Nasa added a pressurised cabin to what was a very Apollo like cabriolet
chassis of idependent motored wheels. Now all looks more assuring.
What's really interesting is the "crew lock concept". Rover docks the main station
so you go in and drive around the moon without having to wear the bulky suit.
The spacesuits are also docked outside the rover, so you jump in the suit, unlock and out.
So you never have to bring the suit in to the rover or the station, hence no dust! yeah

Funding for artists!

Back to E8.
anyone for Jellied eel today?
or filling up one of these?
