Abstract:
I
believe
day-to-day
living
is
so
tightly
woven
with
technology
that
the
thought
of
living
off
the
land,
technology
free,
is
a
fictitious
impossibility.
There
is
no
clearly
drawn
line
between
technology
and
humanity.
It
is
difficult
to
distinguish
between
the
artist
hand
and
the
results
of
machine.
The
aesthetic
of
perfection
no
longer
indicates
time
well
spent
by
a
skilled
artist.
It
is
more
likely
a
computer-generated
image.
Creative
expression
needs
to
be
exposed
to
make
the
work
interesting
and
not
the
possible
product
of
mass
production.
From
the
first
spark
of
fire,
through
the
Industrial
Revolution,
to
the
dawn
of
Modernism,
humanity
has
looked
to
technology
to
improve
every
aspect
of
their
lives.
The
thesis
of
this
body
of
work
investigates
the
connection
between
art,
technology
and
humanity.
With
the
aide
of
drawing
robots,
"Drawing
Attention"
not
only
produced
memorable
art
but
stimulate
on
going
discourse.
