Hero! (Davide Martini) and Hardcore Familia present “dark is the future”.
This project started some years ago as a unification of our skills, passions and deviations.
"Dark is the Future" represents an abstract and conceptual view of a world set in an indefinite space-time, which finds however many references to a chaotic and fateful development of the same.
Most of our works have been created by the concept of the basis of the human-beings tendency, which seems to be self-destruction and involution. We can find it represented within life forms currently known as invertebrate, but we see them evolved and depicted as vertebrate forms, with organs and a human descent bony structure.
Employing materials and natural forms completely at variance with artificial, industrial and mechanical.
Nature, as such, always appears unpredictably ready towards new and fresh synthesis possibilities, which inevitably take shape, provided that certain circumstances happen. The bio-mechanoid expresses this gloomy vision of the future, showing assimilation between nature and technology, the human conquest of the domination over something still considered wild and incalculable.
The insect calls up, conditioned by modern society, the appearance of a disgusting, murky, slimy and subterranean bug, read as well like a synonym of our being in search of evolution and survival, standards-evaders, new freedom seekers who remain behind medias, hidden from commercial channels and sponsored through innovating methods ( to “be” more than 30 seconds, expression without a 160 characters limit ).
This project conceptually epitomizes societies influence besides the environment which surrounds and suppresses us, through the symbology of images and sounds.
Hope in the advent of a society, and a future totally different from our creations is the message. A better world than that in which we live.
