My intention with the black ink brush marks was to convey (through the linear marks) a sense of “organized” life and artificiality. The sides of the triangle (taped together) are abstract ink renderings of flesh or body parts. The goal was to Question the progress of artificial intelligence, and it’s relation to the human narrative. Is flesh, or “organic” material superior to “Artificial?” Does a robot think in 4 dimensions, does a human think in 3?”Clearly this small assignment does not do the idea justice. However this was where my head was at the time.
