Chatting with today about his New World's Fair (which hopes to paint an optimistic, definite vision of the future), I noticed how these projects so often turn to *retro*futurism in art direction. What would a now-rooted, forward-facing hopepunk aesthetic look like?

It's somehow disappointing that the easiest way to evoke optimistic visions of the future in 2022 is to use visual language from the 50's and 60's.
I guess web3 folks often evoke the future with 80's vaporwave vibes. Not helping, really.

Yes, aesthetics like this, Turrell, Ando do seem to suit. I wonder what the graphic design equivalent is, other than Brockmann-esque Swiss…
