The Traveller coming to Indian Metropolis in 2062

The persona of the traveller is something that I feel existed in the past, present and will be there in the future. The experience of seeing new places and having new experiences is inherent to human nature.

On this note, my project is about a day in the life of a traveller whose comes to an Indian metropolis in the year 2062 and keeps a visual journal.

There are a number of experts or 'heroes' that I attribute the experiences and environments to keeping the current state of innovation in the respective fields as the basis for the predictions.

There are 8 environments surrounding the the episodes of our traveller.

Episode 1: The Airport

Scott Robertson, artist

Episode 2: Mass Transport

The project is meant to be imaginative and relatable.

And this future relates my own stories of travels with the visuals that have been arrived at through research.

Designing this city environment falls in between the language of forms and visuals and experience.
