Bringing ongoing life to once dead art types or artistic characters is another element of History 2.0. Categorised as ‘Living Forever’, it sits alongside the principle of ‘rewilding’ but is different in an important way. Rather than bringing back a once-extinct species or way of thinking, it is giving continuing life to something.
Akira Yamaguchi has done this with his patriotic piece ‘Show the Flag’, which has its roots embedded in the traditional Japanese world and way of thinking. His designs, some of which can be seen in the above pictures, brings an almost magical feeling to this work and the pictures almost jump off the page.
By combining the traditions of Japanese painting and artwork with our modern day technology he has created a stunning and a visually striking piece of art. This combination of two totally different worlds gives a new understanding to the idea of living forever and how we can change our destiny if we are just a bit more creative!
