The World According to Simon Stålenhag
A video essay on Simon Stålenhag, the Swedish painter who paints retro-science fiction artworks of technology left to rot in ruin, inspired in part by the failed technology experiments of the Soviet Union. Stålenhag's paintings can be found in the books Tales of the Loop (also an Amazon Series), Notes from the Flood, The Electric State and The Labyrinth.
In this essay I breakdown the world according to Simon Stålenhag, to show his essential retro-futuristic philosophy.
