A small change of pattern in the past has the potential to greatly affect the outcome of the future. This is the basic principal of chaos theory - also known as the Butterfly Effect. This though concept is a great creative outlet for many great artists, authors and designers alike. Many great creative works implement this thought process to create new alternative futures; dystopian or otherwise. Here are a few popular examples:
1984 (Nineteen Eighty Four)- George Orwell
Atlas Shrugged 1957 - Ayn Rand
Fahrenheit 451 - Ray bradbury
Equilibrium 2002
V for Vendetta 1982
In groups we had to re-imagine something with cause and effect. The subject our group chose was a cure all pill. In america people are obsessed with the idea of a cure all pill. Taking into consideration what it would do and the effect it would cause. From this we imagined re-purposed propaganda posters playing with themes such as nationalism.
In my spare time I re-created this more refined piece of work.
