We always tend to believe the present time as normal. Our normal is -in a most cliché way- post-pandemic way of living. But what about 10 years ago? 30 years ago? Or 200 years ago? There was a defined normal for everyone in their timeline. People can adapt to their environments. This is the best feat in our evolution, right? But what about the future? What will be the normal in 2100s? Or in the year 2500? We can’t know that for sure but artists can create different environments. Seoul based illustrator Sisi Kim, presents a fake plastic world that shows the possibilities of different futuristic settings.
Sisi Kim explains the meaning behind A Messy Day projects story to It’s Nice That; “As seemingly trivial as gum sticking to our feet, climate change seems ignorable and irritating, but it keeps influencing our lives and is becoming something increasingly hard to be resolved.” Sisi Kim’s work opens up new door to various ideas about a future we might be in.
Plastic can be fun, useful, convenient but it comes with its toll. We can rely on plastic forever or it will be a blanket between earth, soil and all the living things. And at some point it could be the normal is wandering around fake plastic trees.
There has been a groundbreaking development in the fashion industry in recent years, virtual fashion. Sure, virtual fashion is not a new concept, but we can say that its popularity has increased with the pandemic. So, what is virtual fashion mainly?
London-based artist and designer Mark Sneddon is very creative and productive because most of the work on his website shows that he has an urge to create.
