The World In The Year 3000

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary art we’ve featured here on Coolvibe, Radoslav Zilinsky’s 2007 artwork “The World” caught our attention a while ago, and we know we should’ve shared it earlier :) The level of detail is astonishing. For more of his work, check out Zilinsky’s site.

    This one is really stunning. I love the ramparts on the city walls and the strange juxtaposition with the tiny hamlet.

    I appreciate the commentary as much as the artwork. A powerful image.

    From the size of those pipes It looks like the big city could really flood the little one if everyone decided to flush at once. Or will they have done away with super bowl commercials by the year 3000?
    Beautiful art work I think this will be my desktop for some time to come.

    Wow, what an original picture (at least for me). If the chasm between rich and poor continues like it is, it’s a very believable future too.

    this is seriously the best interpretation of the future ever published.

    its says so much about what we are now, and where we’re heading. the sheer brilliance of the craftsmanship so astonishing and the details are so immaculate that it could be a photo from the year 3000.

    My question is, why every time there is an image like this there is such a technological disparity?

    For example, if we were to drive out to the country we wouldn’t see canvas windmills and thatch huts. Not even in Amish country. So why is there always a medieval tech level society right next to a high-level one?

  18. StripMine

    Here’s a reason for the disparity- how many resources in the area would have been used up to build that city? Sure, trees grow back but metal does not. A lot of the resources needed to build a modern or futuristic city are non-renewable.

    Stunning art, amazing detail; I’d just love to see more views of it (it’s 3D CGI). I’ve seen it few years before. Just want to clarify some details:

    - The name of the artwork is “Worth enough”, not “The World”
    - Author’s name is Žilinský, there is no need to misspell with Unicode

    You can see the wireframe and sketchwork on http://www.maxarea.com/image.php?id=293, just below the image

    StripMine: The answer is bioplas. Bioplastics are fully renewable, and as the technology matures, will be able to take the place of many materials. Metals are not renewable – but what if we produce something that looks like metal, feels like metal, and works much, much better than metal? There’s limited interest in this for now because we have ample metal, which keeps the price of metal low. But when it runs out, other materials will fill the breach seamlessly. Resource limits are rarely as insurmountable as people think.

    outstanding. the artist really captured the idea of as the world get’s “newer” it’s really destroying itself, however, it’s rebuilding at the same time. It’s one of those little things that shows me that there’s still hope for the world

    Stunning artwork, would like to think that hamlet could exist then.

    And can I say Thanks to ‘Arrgh’ the ‘Photoshop Queen’ Troll, I actually did LOL at such stupidity.

    oh.. btw, if we have a liveable piece of land by 3000. seriously, who thinks humanity will survive that day?

    I was thinking Brave New World- the sterile, aesthetic world versus the dirty, nasty and primitive world of the Savages.

    This is ridiculously similar to a dream I recently had. If something like this ever happens, I will cry,

    As far as I’m concerned this is a very optimistic vision, as there is no possible way we will survive that long.

    I do like the picture, its very creative.

    Although I do think that in the year 3000, even the poorer class would at least have have some kind of metal housing or something of the sort.
    The way it looks kind of reminds me of a medieval setting. Very cool. :]

    This pic reminds me of the difference between North Korea and South Korea

    A very interesting image of the future. Extreme wealth and advanced technology juxtaposed against poverty and backwardness. Very possible if wealth continues to be distributed as it.
