High-Speed Horizons
High-Speed Horizons is a design-driven, critical exploration into technology, innovation, big thinking, and our constantly changing attitudes towards the three, told through projected visions of alternative energies and flight.
Sonic booms and nuclear energy are explored as replacements to the widely used and highly problematic petrol based propulsion today’s world is so dependent on. By using the rich history of manned flight as a platform, High-Speed Horizons sets out to not only address what would have been, but also how these alternatives may alter and to a certain extent possibly better align with what is seen as important in our society today.
Man has always looked to the sky to push the boundaries of possibility through innovation and new technologies. The concept of controlled flight has always been viewed as a test bed for radical new ideas and visions to reshape culture, politics and economics here on Earth and far beyond it.
The history of aviation is full of dreams of alternative futures. Some came to fruition, while others did not. And sometimes, we have been teased with a promising vision only to have it end due to political, economic or other pressures. The capital required to research and develop new potentials in this field costs more than almost anything else on Earth. What comes out of this innovation is as equally awe-inspiring as it is destructive. While the funding and intentions for flight are often controversial one thing cannot be argued, the sky will always give us room to dream.
