It was 1968 when 2001: Odyssey in the Space, one of the most famous films of Stanley Kubrick, was out in theaters. Scott Listfield, an American artist, wasn’t born yet, but other similar films as Jurassic Park or Lost in Space helped him to understand that imagining what would happen in the future is a subject that is quite interesting for many people. But have we reached the expectations about the future of Kubrick and Spielberg?

According to Scott, not exactly. So he paints and tells us about the adventure of an astronaut that explores a world that seems more present than future, as now is the first moment that is quite unusual and far away from the perfect and technological advanced dystopians of the great directors.

The natural and industrial worlds seems to have found a balance, where a buffalo doesn’t seem bothered by the smoke of an industrial complex, there are drones flying above the ocean, not seagulls or similar birds, Trump has built a wall but it fell down, where there was water, there is now desert and cities like San Francisco are hard to be recognized.

It can seem the future, but these are actually the effects of the present.
