Everything flows, everything changes. Moreover, in recent years, it has been especially strong. Including natural processes. And therefore the artists Robert graves and Didier madoc-jones created a series of postcards called "London of the Future", which showed how this city could change over time.
Scientists are still arguing about which is more relevant at the moment: global warming or global cooling. Scientists argue, but the artists decided to consider both of these processes. Of course, through the prism of creativity.
The artists Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones have created a series of post-apocalyptic postcards, as if showing the city of London in the version in which it will be, say, in a hundred years. It turns out that the city can change dramatically under the influence of climate change and ongoing mass migration.
Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones showed several variants of such changes at once. So on these postcards you can see the center of London flooded by the rising level of the World Ocean, peasants growing rice under the Big Ben clock tower, Bedouins on camels near the sand-covered Buckingham Palace, the famous Gherkin skyscraper, which has become a refuge for many refugees, slums, broken in the very center of the city.
We have already seen something similar in a series of illustrations from the life of post-apocalyptic Moscow or even post-apocalyptic Disneyland. But the postcards Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones look very real, scary and warning.
This exhibition of artists Robert Graves and Didier Madoc-Jones with postcards from London of the future is now taking place at the Museum of London and will run until March 6, 2011.

Russia 200 Years Later: Predictions of the Future on Postcards 1914
Perhaps everyone at least once in his life wanted to know his future. And this is quite normal. In 1914, the Einem chocolate factory (today's Red October), together with chocolates, released a series of postcards with predictions of what Moscow would look like in 200 and even 300 years. Today it is quite amusing to consider the guesses of people who lived a century ago. Some ideas about the future cause a grin, while others have already come true

This is all that will remain Future Fossils art project, or what the archaeologists of the future will find
Probably the only science that allows people to live simultaneously in the past and in the present, and without all these fantastic time travels, is history. More precisely, one of the most curious sections of history called archeology. So, trips to archaeological expeditions give modern people an opportunity to look into the times of the Scythians and Cossacks, and even find some objects left over from primitive people. What will remain for archaeologists of the future after you and me? This
