FORT COLLINS MUSEUM OF ART: ‘Syd Mead: Progressions’ Exhibit From May 16th thru July 21st, 2013

drtyrell — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 01:57:55 +0000

‘Syd Mead: Progressions’ Exhibit at FORT COLLINS MUSEUM OF ART, Fort Collins, Colorado on May 16th

Syd Mead: Progressions will feature 50 watercolor renderings by visual futurist, automobile designer and film designer Syd Mead. Mead is best known as the set designer for the 1982 film “Blade Runner” but his futuristic car, yacht, golf course and cityscapes have made him one of the world’s most sought-after design artists. In addition to his work on Blade Runner, Mead also worked on the sets for the films “Tron” and “Aliens”. His unique ability to create worlds of the future with each psychological and technical detail vividly imagined puts him at the forefront of film, automobile and technological design.

With transportation design as his first love, Syd Mead seldom misses an opportunity to provide his unique blend of futurism and believability to those projects consisting of a vehicle that travels from A to B. Whether it be designing solar powered unicycles, show cars, luxury yachts, cruise ships, or the interiors of private 747s, each receives the same attention to detail within a perfectly designed scenario. This combination has become a Syd Mead trademark and has been seen in everything from concept cars for Ford Motor Company to futuristic “hypervans” which have been the subject of his latest full color illustrations.

Syd Mead presents “Future World” at IDSA Conference, Boston, August 18th

mlund — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:01:33 +0000

Syd will deliver a key note presentation entitled “Future World” at the 2012 Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) Conference in Boston Massachusetts on August 18th.

http://www.idsa.org/syd-mead-50-years-designing-future

One constant in history has been a fascination with the “Future World” and the emerging technologies that shape it. Whether it be new forms of communication or transportation, a brand new idea, or simply an unimagined refinement of an existing discovery, we have always been curious about what comes next. Today, the world of cross-referenced technologies is advancing so fast that making sense of the “Future Word” is increasingly perplexing. What does it take to produce and sustain a “good” future through innovation and what ecosystem of creativity is needed for this to happen? What is a “good” technology and how will such technologies enable us to achieve a higher level of coexistence? What are the challenges ahead and how do we act responsibly for future generations? Syd Mead, a leading futurist, and artist for product and concept design and notably motion pictures, will give us some insights into how we should think, dream about, and hope for the future.
