Episode 44 - Syd Mead, Visual Futurist (2010: The Year We Make Content)
For our first look at the book The Official Art of 2010, we pay tribute to the genius of concept artist Syd Mead, his career in industry and in entertainment, and his unique vision.
He imagined not only cars, spinners, ships of sea, air and space, but immersive now worlds around them. Celebrating the beauty of both form and function, his designs are always the perfect synthesis of art and engineering.
His contributions to Star Trek, Blade Runner, Aliens, Tron, and of course, 2010: The Year We Make Contact! This week it's the LEONOV, from concept to craft.
Plus: CD-rom games, Gundam, and goulash.
