The issue that I want to explore and research is how the fashion is going to develop with all the new technologies allowing limitless possibilities of modifications and how it can affect the society's well being.

Its called "fashion". Look it up.

Its called "fashion". Look it up.

For my first project I would like to do something on technology. Specifically how technology will keep making life easier and see how that will affect the future in the long run.

For my project I'd like to imagine what future advertisements for social media would look like if certain gratifications we receive from social media, such as self esteem and self worth, became life sustaining nutrients we need on a daily basis. I am going to research marketing for foods, beverages, and vitamins and substitute the subject of such advertisements with Facebook, Instagram, "likes" and "retweets", and such.

Project one idea

My idea for project one is about nuclear warfare and the possible warfare that could erupt anyway from countries like North Korea.

I am not sure exactly what I would like to do for my project 1, but I am leaning towards something involving technology and possibly relating to globalization too. Countries aren't as isolated from each other as they used to be and it is easier to find out what is going on all over the globe. I am interested in how technology will further play a part in breaking down barriers between countries, like language for example, and what effect this will have on the world and how it functions.

Project 1 Ideas

For my project, I decided to look the future of privacy. Privacy to me is a huge issue nowadays, from large threats like terrorism and other countries with nuclear weapons, to personal privacy, I believe that without something being done, those people that live in the future, will lose what little privacy we have left.
We see issues everyday were people can just get on google and find your house address, your phone number, your job, your photo and almost anything else. Social media and other technology make this invasion of privacy alot easier for predators.  Working at the mall,  I see issues almost daily of people sitting in the food court and waiting to customers to make transactions in order to scan their cards from a distance. Last, we hear on the news frequently of many other countries intercepting plans, spying on each other, and many threats. With the invasions of privacy, people are losing their safety, which is a huge issue.

Project One Idea

For my first project i want to focus on how technology and humans will be combined into one. We already see us wearing technology on our wrists and in our glasses, but how long is it until we are having it implanted into our bodies. I will show some of the horrors of this idea and how it might look.

Project one ideas

After some thinking, the topics I would most like to explore for project one are mostly to do with the issues we face from overpopulation and the continued swelling of our population. I think some of the positive advancements that could arise from this are improved and sustainable food sources. using genetic modification and other scientific advancements could help us unlock a way to sustain the population. 


Other more lighthearted ideas i had are the commercialization of the self driving car or maybe even some new forms of transport. I was also interested in the rising popularity of houses that are connected throughout by a network that you can use to control every function of your house and appliances.

A Vocaloid concert starring a hologram that sings and dances.

For my project I would like to focus on a future where hologram technology has become a part of everyday life. I would like to create an image that shows how people use and control holograms as a version of themselves to keep up public appearances in order to stay at home and indoors all of the time.  

For my project 1, I would like to create an image conveying the concerns that many people have about Donald Trump becoming president. Specifically, I would create an image showing what his hate has turned the US into, with military-style security and fear-promoting propaganda.

Project One Idea

For my Project One idea, I would like to create an art piece based off Global Warming, specifically focusing on our oceans. In a billion years, it is possible that our oceans will dry up from it being too hot. If the oceans evaporate, all living things would die. The temperature outside would burn every living thing. If we didn’t die immediately from it being too hot, it would be because we wouldn’t have enough water to keep people from dehydration. Keep this in mind as well, if the world didn’t have oceans, that would mean we wouldn’t have rain, and we wouldn’t have plants and animals. Our food sources would diminish and plants that provide us oxygen would no longer be there. It is just as possible to die from suffocation, as it would be dehydration or starvation. So what would our world look like then? I hope to look into this topic more to see what could happen to the world we live in.

 

Project One Idea - Christopher Spach

For this project, I want to focus on the concept of in vitro meat (AKA cultured meat). Scientists are working on creating meat in laboratories without the use of animals. The first in vitro beef burger was created by a Dutch team in 2013. 

While it is currently very expensive, cultured meat is expected to one day compete with traditionally obtained meat. Many consider this preferable to the current system, considering the awful condition of the factory farms that produce almost all of our meat.

However, I imagine that if this product is introduced, there will be a backlash from both meat-eaters and vegetarians. This type of meat may be criticized as unnatural, harmful to American farmers or just missing the point. 

Although most vegetarian groups have praised in vitro meat as a key to ending factory farming, others have claimed that the in vitro beef burger produced in 2013 was not truly vegetarian, as fetal calf serum was used in the growth medium.

In order to explore this topic's many angles, I plan to focus not on a conditional future, but a conditional past. Our present is also the future of the past. With my project, I want to pose the question, "What would the world be like now if in vitro meat had existed in the past?"

In order to do this, I plan to create several posters and advertisements in the style of those from the 1960s. In that time period, ads said exactly what they wanted to say, no matter how sexist or propaganda-laden. 

Using this medium, I hope I will be able to create an interesting exploration of a subject that we will most likely be hearing more about in the future.

 The topic I chose for project one is medicine. I want to know if it will continue to improve and if so, how will it affect the future. I also want to know if there are possibilities of cures for any big diseases out there (heart, aids, diabities, etc)
