Artist’s Statement: 
With this visual, I intended to display how the technology of the past and the future come together to interact with human nature. On the left, technology of the past engulfs the individual, lines of code merging with their brightly contrasting skin, the emergence of new tech an unfamiliar and new concept. The right side displays technology of the future, taking inspiration from interactive VR technologies and their ability to place a person in a whole new world. The person’s right half which displays the past, holds a sketchy, painted appearance, suggesting the emergence of newer technology and their soon-to-be impactful purpose in our world. Their left side, in contrast, holds a smoother appearance, showing the ease and familiarity of advanced interactive technology in our lives. However, it is important not to lose your individuality and absorb yourself in the technology to come- hence, the digital heart on the right side of the poster, and the person’s outward glitchy appearance.
Technical Statement: 
This poster was designed largely in Procreate on my iPad, using a variety of sketches to determine what design best worked for the final. Upon reading the theme, I knew I wanted to connect tech of the past, and what I imagined for the future. I utilized the in-app text tool for the title before moving my design into photoshop to adjust the color and do last minute touch-ups, exporting it from photoshop as a JPEG.
