‘Future Relics’

Future Relics explores the tension between old and new, drawing on late 1970s futurism for inspiration. Created using the 1990s 3D software Bryce, these digital artworks carry a lo-fi aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with the high-tech, holographic fan displays. These fans have become a medium for presenting digital art and envisioning them as future relics in their own right. Each piece offers a glimpse into a world of geometric relics, seen as portals into alternate realms through holographic technology, blending past and future in a unique visual experience.

“The artist, Mikkapedia explores the tension between old and new, following an interest in representations of the future from the past, the imagery on the fans is inspired by late 1970s futurism illustrations. Created using digital artworks circa 1990s 3D software called Bryce. The software creates imagery with a certain lo-fi aesthetic which juxtaposes against the hi-fi tech of the holographic fans. As technology advances, both software and hardware becomes disused and obsolete and the artist aims to create futuristic works using tech from the past. The artworks provide a glimpse into another world where these geometric relics exist, viewed as a portal into a different world with the utilisation of the holographic fans.”
