You Can't Miss: post-apocalyptic art

This week, I picked an Eye Magazine blog post about artists and designers who worked together on an exhibit. The exhibit is centered around a story by Hari Kunzru. It takes place in a future London that has no infrastructure:

"The resulting social breakdown has led to a dark age, a world where writing and the very act of remembering is banned by those in charge. The central character is in prison, a member of an illegal group who practice the ‘art of memory’ to try and preserve as much of the past as they can."

As you can imagine, the art is strange and dark. Like most futuristic art, it tries to reveal something about the world as it exists in the present.

Check it out.
