When it comes to the fantasy of the future, the first thing that comes into my mind is the apocalypse theme. Human greed and war have destroyed the ecological balance of the earth. The mutation of animals and plants, especially the mutation of animals, is quite terrifying, and the earth is no longer green. The plants are replaced by metal and stone. In order to survive, humans have built a lot of metal buildings to resist the radiation in the air. I want to combine these elements I found in my project to create a horror atmosphere of the end of the world.

For my mid-term project, I imagine the future to be run down and humanity has given up on earth or some post-apocalyptic type like the video game The Last Of Us where there is a zombie apocalypse but the setting and seeing the city run down and overgrown by nature. I would like to think that all the cities are run down, in rubble, or even overrun by nature. I like the visualization of a gritty and dark setting of what might happen when we as a whole of humanity are long here and gone from the earth and to see what happens when no one is left to pick up after the earth. I also had another idea still of having a post-apocalyptic setting like the movie Akira where people are still on Earth but just gave up on humanity and don’t care about what happens to their city.

It's October and spider decorations are popping up everywhere to set a scary mood.  What would the world be like if spiders didn't just come out for Halloween?  What if they were ubiquitous (and loved) as cats and dogs?  I'm brainstorming all the ways/places we interact with our beloved pets.  How do we show that we love them and how can I use those images and replace cats/dogs with spiders?

I imagine a future with no borders but with a more pessimistic approach.
At first wanted to see a future with no borders, a more ideological picture. But then, when I think about the current world orders, I realize that I'm not expectant in an environment where people who had to leave their country forcibly are targeted. So, I will create a composition about the new world order, which resorts to more oppressive, authoritarian methods and starts to build a fascist process.

For my midterm project, I was going to do something on the lines of creating I future in which plants and building architecture work together for humanity. We as human are always trying to find a way to incorporate a hospitable environment where we do not have too much building structures to overcome nature, and its environment. I would like to think that the insight of having plants, fungi's, flowers, vines, bushes are inhabited with potted portions and the walls are covered with wall-growbeds. I feel like this scenario is very supportive and Environmentally friendly as it gives more eco-friendly. Although there might be some minor issues like bird-droppings and small animals being able to scurry around the walk space, but I feel like this is normal as we like to travel and enjoy our vast ecosystem.

I am thinking about what the future would look like if there were flying vehicles that could let you travel anywhere. Let's say I want to fly to a cultural area like Chichen Itza in Mexico or Machu Picchu in Peru flying to places where my families originated from. Also not just fly to countries of my origins but also fly to any other cities around the world like New York, Paris, Tokyo, or Washington DC. I will make an image of what it's like to have a flying car and using it to fly by places in the world that you want to visit.

I'm creating a kingdom in the sky. the idea of a floating civilization is a futuristic concept that has always interested me. I was introduced to the idea by the movie astro boy, which is an extremely advanced metropolis. But mine will be more in line with a "steampunk" future, where the society chose to build civilizations with more Rudimentary materials. I believe this will help my location have more of a personality.

For my mid term assignment I want to do a future where humans go extinct and robots/technology are co existing with animals and natural. my future I imagine that robots are fixing the humans mistake, helping animals, planting more trees,  I would also like to imagine that the robots do have a civilization, so I’m gonna have them floating cities.

A future in my eyes is one that will most definitely not come true. In the future, it will showcase giant architectural sculptures and buildings. The atmosphere would be cloudy and it will forever be cold even when the sun is out. Since the weather is on the cooler side, there will be a lot of snow everywhere. Technology will be advanced and made for the terrain. The terrain will many be flat lands stretching further than the eye can see, with occasional tall mountains. The reason why the terrain is this way is because it will properly show off the vast artistic sculpture made by the people. Lastly, the future will be clean. Fresh air with no pollution, not even a speck of dust.

For this project, I want to make a fantasy utopia. I did not know what solarpunk was until recently and now that I do, I wish to involve this concept. However, solarpunk themes will be the background and not my primary focus. While looking at images, I came across this one of a city built downward under a tree. I really like this idea and the theme of a magnificent city, not in the sky, but in the opposite direction. I feel like this may even be a response to the growing temperature within climate change, as it is usually cooler the deeper you go. I want to use lighthearted tones and I want there to be a network of zeppelins, in which packages are transported and people can travel anywhere quicker. This will be paired with portals to do so. Furthermore, I want to emphasize a bustling futuristic market, as marketplace scenes are among my favorite scenes, and a crowded but lively and majestic city. Lastly, I want to dabble with showing different kinds of couples in the market. In one of my favorite shows, a female alien switched between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. She said that everyone does this on her planet and I loved that idea.

When conceptualizing my mid-term project, I wanted to deviate from the usual tropes of envisioning the future such as cyberpunk or  pitches of green engineering. Rather, I want to explore the scenario where sentient robots/androids go rogue and establish their own civilizations in nature or in cities/structures their human inhabitants left behind long ago. I imagined this setting with the anticipated video game Sonic Frontiers in mind, which largely features old natural civilizations infused with digital technology. This will tie into the "laws" of "cyber-reclamation" itself, the robots reclaiming the lands being only vaguely human-like in appearance and the withered structures having arguably out-of-place technology like floating transportation rails or power generators installed. Abandoned malls as a whole and especially The New World Mall in Bangkok were also something I was thinking of, the latter being an abandoned mall that became so unkept it had fish living in it. Now these tie into the "laws" of these reclaimed lands, the robots should primarily take up man-made structures which have suffered severe amounts of natural reclamation and decay. These flipped remains would also be prone to fog (a consequence of the shifted climate of this future) which explains why extreme vegetation would be sustained. In this future the world (or at least North America) has become much more moist due to changing climates, and thus the terrain and structures should reflect such. In spite of how post-humanity this prompt sounds, this isn't to say the humans are gone, as they are still around and actually are the ones exploring and documenting these developments. In short, the less advanced cities being left behind in this future results in "cyber-reclamation", and exploring this phenomena becomes an underground craze among humans.

When I envision the future, I hope to see more of a simple lifestyle and less technological advancements. In my ideal world the future would consist of people connecting back with nature and returning to genuine, natural connections between people. Social media wouldn’t rule this society but instead, people would live everyday disconnected from the internet. They would have nothing better to do than focus on what’s here and now. I would also love to see nature being prioritized and nourished more in the future. I hope to see real actions against climate change being taken and people treating the earth with respect.

I am thinking of making images with buildings being overrun by tree and nature. Showing a world that is overrun with nature that erupted overnight everywhere. I've seen similar things like this, like The Last of Us, but they focused more on an different aspect, not on nature so I wanted to give it a try.

[READ THIS ---> My first idea - Not doing, I'm scrapping this out. I'm doing another one for my project a few columns over called My Project Proposal. Please check it out. Thank you.]

When thinking about the future, I imagine something similar to the storyline in the movie Wall-E where the Earth is no longer habitable and not much can be done about it. It's in a time where technology is pretty advanced, so the world started to enter the interstellar era where it's all about dominating the stars and inhabiting other planets (as Earth can no longer be lived on, but people might look at other sources in space to make it habitable). Everything is pretty high-tech, but I like to think that greenery or nature is somehow preserved or the idea of it being passed on to later generations when everything is mostly machinery. So in my project, I'm thinking of creating images of the Earth being a dystopian society, an interstellar voyage around space, and a high-tech city with a bit of greenery.

I imagine a future that incorporates form with function. Where art and green spaces become one. Food farming and aesthetics are equally important. People have started to move up instead of out. Urban jungles become true jungles and mean a wealth of wildlife and greenery instead of just steel and concrete. Food, medicines and designer plants can all be within reach and will offset the carbons produced by previous urbanization.

For this project, I want to make a far future setting from the eyes of an outsider. This is to have the theme that asks the question of "how would it feel for an alien species to discover the things we made after we've long moved on?" and for it to have a lot of scope, mystery, and elements of sci-fi. I'm wanting to emphasize the feeling of perspective and history while still showing it as a far future, also leaning into the feeling of nature hiding the man built history which adds to the mystery.

An idea for my project when I think about the future is virtual reality. Somewhat on the path of advanced technology, it's more specific on holography where people are addicted or more prone to being in a virtual world than real life. Entertainment, games, love, power, money, status, social networks, media, and connections, everything can be accessed through this virtual/holographic world where you don't even have to step outside. It's like a whole new level of internet addiction, but it's something you can actually experience with your five senses. Everyone just wants to stay in this virtual world. A reference would be the movie Ready Player One, but it's not just gaming.

Scenario 1: Imagine an average guy. In real life, he stays in a small tiny apartment and lives like a shut-in, basically an invisible person. He also has physical disabilities. But in this virtual world, he's a powerful character with money and status, and his looks and body (that are adjusted through data) are handsome without flaw. He's chased after by a whole line of women or suitors. Comparing the virtual world with real life, he feels unbalanced and cannot wait to stay in the virtual world all the time, becoming addicted to the riches, status, and healthy body he got while in this virtual world.

Scenario 2: Imagine a very black-and-white and very boring world in reality. In every house, there's a pod or device that you can use to enter the virtual world. Everyone is attached to this device. Entering this virtual world, it's full of color and laughter. People are going into restaurants to eat, go shopping, hang out with friends or family, work in offices and have meetings, do business or trade, play games, shoot with mechas, racing, watch movies, etc. It's wholly different from the real world, and you can do anything without stepping out your door.

To those of you who might have yet to submit, or who are in the next step of the process.  Remember as you dive into your project, your thinking will grow and the direction of the project may change slightly or vastly from the proposal.  Follow what is alive in the work.  For folx who haven't finished a proposal, don't over think it.  Choose the images first then write what connectors you see there and a possible direction you want to take them.  Your project will solidify as you dive into creating the series.  I look forward to seeing your work.

I have always been a big fan of Alice and Wonderland and I would like to do some sort of Twisted Reality Type of Future. I like the Chess/ Checkers Themes and the big psychedelic Mushrooms. I think it may also be cool to do a dark very natural landscape covered in weird random clocks to make it feel like you're under some sort of ticking pressure just like the white rabbit was.

When I think of the possible futures we can reach, I always envision futuristic attributes from star wars like the floating cities or vehicles that can travel lightspeed across galaxies. Or I think of how we can take the turn like the movie Elysium and create an artificial planet because we can barely live on our own world. And so for my project I figured I'd combine those futures, to show a future that values the world we live on and humanity.

For my project, I will be showing the details of how technology made by designers can have an aftermath of tragedy to society. We have all heard and been familiar with the predictions of how robots will be made in the future possibly to be made to help humans to do homework or house work. There's a plot twist to there would be a war against humanity and change the whole human race.

When coming to this project, I was thinking that in the future there will be a new continent located above the Pacific Ocean between Japan and the Philippines. I thought it would be a mossy land at first that was created by a submarine volcano and pushed it up from the ocean floor. I want to make an image of that continent's location appear on the map. In addition, I think it will be a place to test high-end technologies in the world and will mainly be a place for tourists to visit, because it suddenly appeared so I don't know which country will it belong to or be governed by. It is also possible that there will be ancient ruins appearing in part of the continent.
