Technology.

The strand of Media that our group had the blessing of being gifted.

During my research into the future of technology in the audio industry, I managed to venture further down the rabbit hole than I had initially intended and in doing so, dirtied my fluffy white tail…however I came out the other side more enlightened and with one name on my mind.

Arthur C. Clarke – Scientist, Science Writer & Futurist.

This gentleman had a very important role not only in the scientific world, but also in the popular culture world; having worked with Stanley Kubrik as a key writer in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The part of Clarke’s life that I wanted to focus on and utilise in the depiction of Technology in audio was his 1960 televisual segment “A Vision of the Future”, where Clarke depicts not only what the future will look like, but also the meanings behind what people who predict the future are really achieving.

The reason for choosing this piece will become apparent once our artefact is complete.
