  22-09-2020 23:31 via feedproxy.google.com

  Royal Hall of Industries, Sydney
  Everything new is old again in an homage to the great painter that has an aesthetic similar to walking through an airportIsn’t it strange how the future has ended up looking so much like the past?For all the technical wizardry that allows us to literally resurrect the dead, albeit in faint simulacra of their original selves, we’re still prone to creating things in forms that aren’t that much different to what you might have experienced 150 years
