Project name: I love my computer
basic information
the focus of this project is the co-dependency between a machine and its owner/human, as well as their differences. This concept will be presented as an installation.
background idea
I have wanted to make an artwork about my computer for a long time now and I feel like this class is the perfect place for it. Bodies of machines are fascinating to me and I love to look at them.
idea
I I feel love for my old computer but at the same time it is dying and almost unusable for its purpose. We have lived with each other for such a long time and now that relationship is basically ready to die but who decided that? The machine or me? and how could we maintain a relationship? - in this project I will create a multimedia artwork about the relationship between my late computer and me. It will focus on the life of a machine and human together and how a relationship like that works. I will compare our parts and see if they are similar in any way or if we have anything in common. The body of machine and non-machine.
Through different mediums I will depict our relationship with each other, I will try to show how I see my computer and how my machine might see me. Another aspect I want to explore is if its able to have a relationship between a machine and non-machine as equals.
