Next step

So tomorrow i am going to london to view some galleries to help with inspiration for this new project. We where given a list of six places to look up plus were asked to independently reseach into places or areas we would like to visit.

I have been thinking about what sort of area i would like to concentrait on, Utopia or Dystopia, and i am very indecisive. I am a great sc-fi fan and have seen quite a few films which could help me to explore the idea behind the perfect world gone wrong. 

For examples the concept behind the film Event Horizon is where a ship called the Event Horizon was built to test an scientific experimental equipment which is ment to generates an artificial black hole to use as a potal with in space, greatly reducing travel time between astronomical distances and to help understand other world which could inprove our own. the down side to this idea in the film is that by building this wonderful portal they end up traveling to places unknown and end up finding hell its self.

The more obvious film that springs to mind is Star wars which tries to creates a world where social Communist are the good guys with the "light side of the force" from natural world fighting agaist the capitalist with their "dark side of the force" trying to controy the galexcy traiding powers.

But apart from a lot of dystopias based in the future a lot of films and literature is also based in the past. For example the film Troy is based about the Trojan war and the falling of a nation because of love, pride of there impenetrable architecture and their underestimation of there enemy. 

This wooden horse is a symbol of the down falling of Troy through the smart thinking of the Spartans. All utopian ideas have there weaknesses.
