# Futuristic Art Predictions Vladimir Shelest Sees a Brave New World for 'Moscow 2050' By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vladimir-shelest References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Moscow-2050_/555655) & [e-sh.ru](http://www.e-sh.ru) When Vladimir Shelest envisions the future of Russia, it appears that he sees a brave new world for 2050. Industrial, warlike and stark are just a few of the words that spring to mind when I perused through his 'Moscow 2050' portfolio. Although I've never visited the city before, I can only imagine that this is drastically different from what it is now. Through [digital art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hofa-gallery), Vladimir Shelest displays a very futuristically-inclined mind, as is evident from his other Behance portfolios. Although a [science-fiction reality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-utopia) seems slightly far-fetched, in a purely aesthetics point of view, I can't help but appreciate his prediction attempts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Futuristic Art:** Exploring the possibility of creating art that depicts a vision of the future. - **Digital Art:** Using technology and digital tools to create artistic expressions. - **Science-fiction Reality:** Bridging the gap between science fiction and reality through artistic interpretations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Embracing innovative techniques and tools to create futuristic and digital artworks. - **Entertainment:** Using futuristic and science-fiction themes to captivate audiences in movies, shows, and games. - **Architecture:** Incorporating futuristic design elements and concepts into the creation of new buildings and structures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Metaverse Cities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-cities.md) - [Digital Audio-Visual Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiovisual-exhibition.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Future-Facing Sculptural Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-of-the-future.md) - [Sustainable Futures Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planet-city.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Global AI Art Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-of-the-future1.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [CG Technology Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cg-technology-art-exhbition.md)
