Future of Black America
A Flooded City: Black Data in the Urban Agrarian Future. Visual Concept Design By Tim Fielder
Imagine a typical American coastal City impacted by rising oceans, growing temperatures, and common day AI. Visualize the surviving citizens of color connected by virtual data residences and vertical farm co-ops. To survive racism and altered economic options, the human spirit and will to live allows the people to prosper in the ever-changing environment.
Visual Afrofuturist and Graphic Novelist, Tim Fielder will showcase 2d and 3d software imaging techniques that employ Horizon Scanning and Foresight to generate concept designs that depict a future narrative that may be all too real. Content generation techniques will employ Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk’s 3dsmax, and Epic Games Unreal Engine towards the presentation.
