Smash The Media

Technology itself is not the saviour that man seeks it is the human mind which has created this technology, and it is the human mind which should continue to develop and use technology for mankinds benefit. All dependancy on technology is a falacy, a trojan horse in the development of our minds. Our continual relience on technology to do more and more things for us will be our downfall. We should use technology as the tool it is not the answer to our problems.

Orange Commissions mark 2


This is one of a series of illustrations selected by orange mobile
phones in the second round of there orange image bank
competitionthe title theme this time was is technology.

Technology

Since moving to thingland studios I have been embarking on a new
project
based around technology and the useless nature of our ever
increasing
dependancy on it, as an answer to all our problems.
I have been interested
in television as a metaphore for technology and its useless nature.



Thingland studios


I have just moved into a new studio space here is are some
pictures of the wall mural I just painted black acrylic one brush.


The imagery here is a giant illustration taken out of the context of
the printed image it becomes useless, just like the technology
portrayed in the mural it becomes a throw away media.


Orange Commissions



I have just been commissioned by orange as part of the orange image bank 2006
the brief for the first round was to create optimistic images about the word
half.
