What the sporting world holds for itself in the future is only something time will tell, but The Future of Sports by Tim Tadder and Mike Campau identifies some super sci-fi depictions of what might be in the years to come.
Highlighting a very Tron-like chromatic scheme, the photo set is starkly structured and places atheletes in relatively strong settings that include basketball courts painted completely black, yet brightly lit, or cyclists riding through town on a light cycle-inspired ride.
There's a clear focus on darkness, which is a common theme when it comes to prophesying about the future. With that said, does the future have to always appear so strongly focused on black? Perhaps it's a more hopeless view of what will be or a protest against moving forward. Whatever the case, it's likely there shan't be such a lack of optimism.
