This project goal was to show us 40 years in the future. I imagined a post-apocalyptic western themed future.
Overconsumption and bad environmental practices have made human survival on the planet hard. In 2026, a lab specializing in genetic manipulation had a containment breach and a viral agent that accelerates genetic evolution is released into the environment. This agent started to effect animal and plant life around the world, forcing evolutionary change in unpredictable ways. The environment changed and dangerous toxic storms now ravaged the land. Remaining humans now live in small atmospheric and environmental habitats of varying design. Outside of these habitats are the Wildlands, where dangerous mutated life is prevalent and the environment is mostly toxic to past natural life, but survivable if an individual is adaptable and hardy. The year is 2058, I am an outcast, named for those choosing to live outside the protective habitats, transporting materials and other commodities between the habitat settlements, surviving in this harsh world by scavenging old world resources and avoiding the dangerous creatures.
To survive the Wildlands, I use my wits and wear a scavenged gas mask from old environments suit that helps me survive this trying future. I dream of the day where I find or afford a cutting edge environmental armor suit from the early days of the catastrophe.
