No art in the future?

My friend Rory makes films under the name Crafthunter, I was followed a link to his youtube today and re-watched some his films for the first time in a while. One in particular, Tech Noir, gave me a complete revelation. I have a terrible grasp of my own thoughts and concepts which is often frustrating as though I now how I feel about something I never seem to do myself justice when trying to explain my ideas to others. I have been trying to analyse my thoughts about "the future", the age of technology and the relationship between society & technology and art & design and consumerism for a while now and watching Tech Noir was like a moment of clarity. My explorations had taken me from Pagans to Constructivism to futurism to Amish to hippies to modernism and all sorts of strange examinations and examples into how people choose to live their lives as well as explorations into how I live my life. Anyway after all that thinking I managed to reach a few solid conclusions and I now have plenty of ideas buzzing around my head in terms of art that I shall make now!

This is his film:
