Welcome To Dystopia
The idea of a dystopian future is so often written about and spoken about, but would we ever know if we were in one? Dystopian itself refers to a state of great suffering or injustice, and by that definition we are in the midst of our own dystopian reality right now. With Welcome To Dystopia I hope to bring this idea to light by using a blunt and sometimes hyperbolic filter on our own reality, allowing us see it as the dystopian world it has become. I have created a visual artifact of this dystopian reality. The purpose being to lift the veil on our society, and show you what it might look like if we no longer pretended that things are better than they are. This begins with tackling a number of social issues we face in the United States right now, visualizing them with a cohesive and unique graphic style in a new media format. Then constructing a NYC inspired wall for these posters to be displayed on in a street art style (graffiti, wheat paste, weathering, etc).
