One more thing!!

This was our final project in sculpture class. It was a group installation project and we had to come up with something to put up around the school with a message >.> Ya so my group and I made a human/robot thingy symbolizing how much technology is controlling our lives.  We made the body and monitor out of plaster craft by plastering two of my partners XD and a computer monitor.

And here’s our statement :

Technology has enabled our generation to reach out and connect instantaneously with people on the other side of the world. This global reach may bring a better understanding between cultures. The downside is that this same technology isolates us from face to face contact with those closest to us. It’s not unusual for a family to have a  several televisions and/or computers throughout their home with each family member jacked into their own personal technical device. Here we have substituted the human face with the impersonal face of the computer monitor. Common items related to technology have been placed in the hands and a keyboard under the feet because using more than one piece of technology at one time is not uncommon either. Wires are wrapped around the body to show how tied up our lives have become in the technology. We are at the point where we cannot imagine living without it and in fact have developed a symbiotic relationship with technology. With the advent of bionics and nano technology we can only imagine how far this relationship will go.

So i’m really proud of this! We got it done my last full school day and we were behind all the other groups DX It’s really kinda creepy when you’re right next to it… A lot of work but totally worth it!
