FUTR WRLD: Tomorrow's Retro-Future Today

FUTR WRLD is calling for artists to submit works for their upcoming art book and accompanying gallery show:

FUTR WRLD is an open source collaborative effort among artists to create a conceptual rendering of earth and its inhabitants in the year 2060. The environment of the planet will change in the next 50 years. How will humans incorporate and change through the use of technology and untapped natural resources. How will modern day society be affected by these changes. What will be the outcome in cities and small villages around the globe. Will we have to place trust in machines. Will technology be a positive forward motion or a hindering step back. We are asking that artists from all over the world participate.

Sounds like a great project and I can't wait to see the results, but I'm not exactly sure what's so "open source" about it.

If you're toying with some ideas but would like some feedback before you submit them, Core77 has set up a FUTR WRLD bulletin board for discussion. (That's where this sketch came from.)

Submission deadline is October 31st.
