It is a world that is both technologically and media driven. This world is both fascinating but at the same time a little dangerous. I really like this world of tomorrow, really like the design of the city which is slightly like "Blade Runner". However if you think about it more (or at least roll with), it sort of makes sense as the future is supposedly came from the aftermath of some war which could possibly mean certain resources and technology has been lost so we had to resort to some of the old tech.

But you have to understand this show was made in the 80's so like with some sci-fi films and TV shows of yesteryear there are always going to be a few inaccuracies, let alone certain things unforeseen, but it's what it gets right is what counts. Though there are some things that might date the show like the fact that some people still use floppy and hard disks, VHS's are still around, let alone the fact there is no internet and streaming/download digital network in this future.

The show also predates the DC Vertigo comic series "Transmetropolitan" which is slightly like this show. Let alone the fact this all takes place in the future which makes it even cooler. I really like the fact that this is one based on news, which is cool as that's my field of expertise, let alone there really aren't many TV shows based on news reporting and TV stations. This show no doubt was ahead of it's time, there really isn't a show like it nor ever since. The show is also a childhood gem as I remember the figure Max mainly from the Coke a Cola commercials he was even parodied in an episode of "Family Matters". Which is weird to say considering the character "Max Headroom" whom you can say has became even more popular than the TV show itself. Well not totally as this show did have popularity and was a moderate hit but as time went on it's became forgotten. This show is another of my favorite sci-fi TV shows, it's also a show that is under the radar. But also, what makes it interesting is how much not just the information itself but the presentation of it and how much it can affect our lives and the lives around us.

Museo de Art Contemporaneo de Monterrey, Mexico Illinois State Museum of Art, Springfield, IL ed-paschke-art-center.htmlĬarnegie Center for Art & History, New Albany, IN Take a trip and go visit the work of one of Chicago's brightest art stars. It is a great place to visit, see some of his work and a replica of his studio. In June 2014, the Ed Paschke Art Center was unveiled in Chicago. The exhibition at Benedictine University will also feature some of Nancy's work. Two months after Paschke's sudden death, Nancy followed after him. The colors here are noticeably more somber, quiet.

This print shows Paschke embracing Nancy as she leans her head on his shoulder. As Ed's career continued to take off, people suggested he move to New York to further his career, but he would not leave his wife. Nancy was also an artist, and after raising two children, Marc and Sharon, she developed a debilitating illness which required a caretaker. "Compassion" is a print of the artist and his wife Nancy. The piece I chose to close this article with is one that was personal for Paschke. Who amongst us wouldn't have done the same?

He was a good, hard-working artist who chose a bold, funky subject and ran with it.

Yet, the town(Chicago) is the town, and it has its plethora of issues with mafia, gangs, guns, and the like but it is also a town of hard-working people, and especially hard-working artists. There would have been enough fringy characters running around the area for a good take on some of his subjects. Well maybe not Anywhere.Paschke's studio on Howard Street was the dividing line between the big, bad city and the suburban genteel. These characters could be found anywhere. I never really bought the idea that Paschke was trying to show the seedy side of Chicago in any specific or moralistic sense.
