  • Syd Mead is an American Treasure. He's a genius on par with, say, Frank Lloyd Wright. To me, there should be some kind of permanent archive/exhibition area where people can go to view his works of art. I don't know if there is already such a place, but there definitely should be one.

    His visions of a technologically optimistic future are amazing. I never get bored looking at his works of art.

  • There is presently a display in

    Old Town Pasadena, California

    on Raymond & Union Street that

    will be up through mid-July!

  • Syd Mead visited my class today and got to see our work. Thank you for posting this. :) He is truly amazing.

  • Your welcome!

  • This man...hehe...THIS man is THE man! Love him! I can't afford those beautiful-looking DVDs of his, but I'll try. :-) Thanks for posting this!

  • Glad you enjoyed it!

  • This is perhaps the greatest living "visionary futurist" of our time, a one of a kind representative of a greatly undermined sub-genre of Space Art! You have to see this documentary to begin to grasp at its importance!

  • I'm no expert in art...but the stuff of Syd takes me far away to the next stars...

    since i read he was responsible for the design of the movie Bladerunner, i discovered all his other works...perfect harmonic shapes, deep mystical colors,

    unbelievable design from outer space here on earth. I'd say the future has its visual creator.

  • Wow, sick.

    

  • Whats the music backgrounds?? Where can I find all of his work so I can see them all???? Help me!!

  • He made the two best Gundams: Turn A and Turn X.

  • @laserbender

    Vangelis. From Blade Runner film music I think.

  • Definitely! And sometimes equally in the past. We do live in slightly strange in between times, not quite going here or there, who knows. Syd does have an incredible skill like many other artists out there, giving a glimpse into their visionary thoughts. These sometimes translate into a more touchable reality via films or transport etc. but he reminds me (with his work) that when I sleep I can experience these places truly, and I am there in the future or past or wherever you prefer to call it?

  • The man's a genius!

  • Very Cool video! He is a true bridge between science fiction and reality. BTW, what is the background music used in the video. It's really cool, spacey and fitting for this video.

  • syd mead is doing a free event at my uni next week we get to meet him etc and i hope to get something signed

  • only like 3 but they are very hard to get and very expensive, he likes to protect his work
