Includes graphite concept drawing.
Living in the digital age, we are immersed within a global network of electromagnetic waves and frequencies. Existing within this unseen web that encases our world we have equipped ourselves with extra sensory receptors furthering the capacities and capabilities of the neocortex. This allows for non-local instantaneous connectivity to the frequencies abound. As these networks evolve and expand the abilities to access and disperse information increases. What I am interested in and inspires me to explore is how these new technologies shape and influence aspects such as identity, communication, education, thinking patterns, habitual behaviours, beliefs, social structures and sense of community.
