The Artdog Image of Interest
When I was researching videos of ways the past viewed the possibilities of the future, I found that most seemed to fall into repeated categories. Futuristic kitchens (especially as envisioned by contemporary makers of kitchen appliances, imagine that!) formed a major subcategory.
Oddly enough, the makers of these videos rarely envisioned men as the ones who'd be cooking. Here's a classic "future kitchen" from sometime in the 1940s-50s:
My Images of Interest in October are videos, all of them drawn from a panel discussion, "Yesterday's Tomorrow," moderated by Kathryn Sullivan, in which I participated at FenCon XV. I shared these videos with the audience, and they generated enough interest that I thought my blog-readers might like them too!
VIDEO: many thanks to YouTube and Susan Pine for this video!
