That’s why I called the showcase *modern* retro-futurism. It’s how modern designers interpret retro-futurism that were created in the past. I also explained it in the lead-in paragraph.

Great collection, Jacob… I simply adore retro futuristic art… they are such an inspiration..

Also, I don’t think Labyrinth and Muse belong in this category.. Not that it is bad, but retro futurism takes a completely different meaning when you showcase works of noted retro futuristic artists such as Sakke Soini and Sorayama….

Just a thought:
Retro-Futurism is basically the depiction of the future in the past. It is also sometimes colloquially termed as “The future as seen from the past and the past as seen from the future.”

It is about how the people in the 60’s and 70’s imagined the machines of the future. It’s about space, technology and parallel realities :)

Fantastic collection btw :)

Yes, exactly. In the 90s early 2000s, we would’ve considered those movie covers as tacky and cheesy. Do it today, and they’d be trendy.
