Phew! After some late nights our CARI site is finally up! While it's still a work-in-progress, we've compiled quite a bit of our research over the past few years in here! I've got some fun ideas for the future, eg. each aesthetic page themed in its respective style
Y2K Aesthetic Institute 💽@y2k_aesthetic

It's official! Our CARI website is finally up & open to explore! After years of hard work by our dedicated team, we've created this platform to share our research into the ever-expanding landscape of 1970s-present consumer design. cari.institute

@MarikoRawralton @kalomaze yea its called that incorrectly, that style is honestly the polar opposite - it doesn't have anything to do with windows metro, and everything to do with the peak of 'vector maximalism/vectordelia' inspired by 60s-70s psychedelia & pop art

@kalomaze It's called Frutiger Metro, and people are nostalgic for it.

@JonnyD @PolyDepression Just to add; at the time it was probably also associated with The Attik, a design firm that may be the true pioneers of the style -- here's the graphics they did for a magazine, Plazm iss. #20, in '98(!) - some of their earlier stuff going back to '95 has hints of this style too

Metalheart is a futuristic Y2K design aesthetic most commonly associated with the late 90s to the mid 2000s. The style is characterized by distorted abstract forms, metallic or chrome textures, futuristic UI-like graphics and typography with blurry dark backgrounds

@AllSpacesFilled @madokaleninist It's also surprising to see it gain so much popularity inspiring new art/graphic design amongst gen z/alpha; when at the time (late 00s) it was basically 'vector-slop' - random mixes of graphics/motifs that were slapped onto every cheap product imaginable

frutiger aero is to the 00s as synthwave is to the 80s, it's an entirely modern retro genre built not from what the era's aesthetics were factually like but what people who vaguely remember it as a kid recall it *feeling* like

I’m convinced that people have literally experienced a memory loss for anything made before 2018 websites didn’t look like this in 2009 this type of stuff used to be called Y2K few years ago and now its late 2000s what is even going on anymore

I know the delay probably put a damper on it but I hope people are still interested in Marathon's art style. The flat graphic futurism thing is something people hadn't tapped into as much. We kinda skipped straight to Frutiger Aero

Bright Child activity centre - Santa Monica, CA (1998) One of my earliest memories is of a brightly-colored 'activity centre' just like this, they had such a boom in the 90s. Mainly 'Wacky PoMo', w/ some touches of the 'Decon-dustrial' style also popular at the time. (1/2)
