Hi you should watch my documentary:
Info i want to include: multidisciplinary artist, trained in illustration, designer of 3d accessories, sculptor, maker, tinkerer. shy person.
through wren, a character born from my mind during my time in college. he is an android robot who resembles a human but is not one. he observes the behavior of humans in an attempt to mimic their behavior by taking tools to his control panel and configuring himself to fit in with other humans at the cost of the detriment of denying himself.
artist's statement needs work Fascinated by people's relationship with technology. Capitalism has incentivized technology to be as addictive as possible, designed to keep you and spend as much screentime as possible on the app. This has ramifications on agency and human behavior that people are increasingly growing aware of. Yet, we are still addicted to the technology that binds us and that society is reliant on. Therefore, it might be considered punk to take a deliberate effort to move away from using our devices in ways that control our behavior. And to rather customize, control, and use technology in ways that are suited to our needs that we decide. I want to encourage people to not just accept what is availible as decided by what is on the market controlled by a company engineering human behavior with algorithms. I want people to evaluate their relationship with technology and consider if they are choosing what they want or if they are defaulting to decicions made for them. Taking agency might look like using an offline music player or owning media. Or using or making devices that are catered to your needs that you know yourself for. Researching and understanding what you need for yourself. Open source technology. problems, counterarguments, etc: time, money, convenience. people work and dont have time or arent tech savvy. ramifications of convenience. not all consumerism is bad obviously.
