Please keep Terrell Davis @terrellllllll in your memory. He is the OG neo-Y2K artist and we wouldn’t be here without him. He was an admin of the Facebook groups, and an early CARI member. He was an incredibly humble person. He will forever be a legend. Rest in Power, 1998-2020

@Jam2go @ClayMazo Wow this is a really interesting style -- I'm not sure it exactly falls into y2k futurism but I'll check and see if I have any similar examples that we could use to help place it in some aesthetic context

@matthewye Kinda want to email them and ask if they're even aware of this connection to their work!

Just to add for crediting, I scanned these from the book,Β β€˜The 21st Century Office’ (2003) and the Oct. 2002 issue of Interior Design Magazine -- also, as some have mentioned, this is a great example of the revival of 60s-70s space age/ultramodern design

@_HDD Just a note that this was shot in the Cocoon Club by design firm 3Deluxe! They did a bunch of great work in the 90s-2000s

Sim. to my interest in the more hand-drawn/painterly 'Neoliberal Corporate Surrealism' style, I can't get enough of the CG/surreal PS stock photo look -- these are from the 'Artville - Technology Concepts' CD (1999) - that last one is basically the office siren tiktok meme lol
