Retro-futurism art, which became popular in the 1960's, conceptualizes a future that might have been. Sure, nowadays these optimistic images seem a little absurd. Flying cars? Humans living underwater? Yeah right! Still, as historians Brian Horrigan and Joe Corn believe, "[retro-futurism] is a history of an idea, or a system of ideas-- an ideology. The future, of course, does not exist except as an act of belief or imagination."
