2174:Future ruins of an Automated Past- 3D animation

2174: Future ruins of an Automated Past is a project focused on how automation and consumerist culture/ manipulation will impact the future supermarket.

Z Markt is a supermarket in the year 2174, or whatever is left of it. Automation started taking over until human staff was no longer needed and the machines targeted every thought, need or insecurity that people had. Eventually people started revolting and destroying all supermarkets and eventually abandoning them, which resulted in nature taking over these spaces. Z markt is a post dystopian, pre utopic supermarket.


X Markt is the old supermarket, although similar to supermarkets as we know them, they are older versions, cashiers were still present and automation was at the very beginning.

Therefore we are living in the era of the Y Markt. Between X and Z Markt, heading towards a dystopian future.

5 Decades of Natural Disasters in Europe - Newspaper


Over the past 50 years, the number of natural disasters in Europe kept increasing, however I feel that we keep giving less and less attention to what is happening around us.
Here is a visual representation of the data set of all natural disasters in Europe from 1972 until 2022. You can slowly see how the map gets slowly fuller by decade until it becomes illegible.

Does media exposure lead to desensitization?
