The Image of the Future

> The rise and fall of images of the future precedes or accompanies the rise and fall of cultures. As long as a society’s image is positive and flourishing, the flower of culture is in full bloom. Once the image begins to decay and lose its vitality, however, the culture does not long survive. – [Fred Polak](http://www.futurefeeder.com/2005/02/the-image-of-the-future/), via [Stuart Candy](http://vimeo.com/21098132)
