HUMAN.TWO,POINT.0




concept sketch, two woman laid side by side, the one on the right human, the one on oeft being created to replicate her, the future of the fusion of nature and technology, done on my tablet (Y)
the left will have electricals etc, need to develop.

WE.PLAY.GOD

Deconstructing my image; in terms of the basics, nature, represented via the bird of course.

the technoligical side is represented via the exhaust and the pipes that have been crudely added to the animal.

further aspects of the time include the rough treatment of the bird, the scars being displayed to represent the crude nature of the work done on the animal. the bird also being in flight, doing what it already naturally is designed for, yet science feels the need to further edit and distort the way of nature.

image still needs development...

THE.FLESH.AND.ITS.MACHINERY

Mortality and technology

Technology can help kill us alive or it can destroy us

So my theme, within nature and technology will be creation and destruction, pestilence and longevity, what are examples of this?

  • Birthing:

Now that birthing is giving technological aid it is become a huge part in repopulation as before hand a large percent* of births would fail. Is this good or bad? This I feel is good, there are more births than there are deaths every second, our core and natural responsibility is to repopulate, technology is now our midwife.

Baby born as a computer?

  • Death:

Those who are kept alive in vegetative states are being kept alive, breathing, heart beating purely by technology, so are they alive? They breath through an iron lung and beat the heart of a machine. Is this good or bad? How does euthanasia come into play, although a religious element of course.

However is it justified to keep someone alive who is simple a corpse that happens to be breathing, has no humanity but by their loved ones is considered to still be a live. You might as well call him mac and plug a usb into him.

Man of life support talking through computer

  • the living process:

Adjustment of the natural, enhancement, namely the subtle modification of what nature has already created, stem cells, artificial limbs, pacemakers all these things are edits to the natural being. Whether the enhancement be worthwhile and justified I think overall this is man playing God with unnecessary things, but with worthwhile elements that actually benefit people and aren’t unnecessary I feel it’s a great aid, whether its an artificial leg 3or a hearing aide.

My bird

  • The Arts

Life doesn’t go about without culture, the arts etc, this one is to me the art of technology, however this piece of art could be considered quite crass, plastic surgery and how it does not enhance man instead put a new face on it, of course this doesn’t relate to enhancement as some unfortunate people NEED plastic surgery instead of people choosing to stuff plastic in their lips.


Doctors holding down, old face trying to get out
its a mask

  • our future with technology:

Will technology soon be the creator and we will edit at its whim? This idea needs development!

Dead person on the floor, new one, human 2.0

So some of these might come out a bit dark, i was listening to Gnaw Their Tounges when I wrote these! check them out, grim!
