Scribbles







Beyond Human

Early sketches revolving around the idea of going beyond the human structure and emerging as a new form of life. We become reborn as cyborgs/ robots where we become far superior as opposed to our organic pasts. What does it mean to be human? How far to we push the transhumanist movement until we start to lose our humanness?

This early idea features the same character through the different stages of a transhumanist transformation. Left: The organic stage and as we are now. Centre: Augmented to the fullest potential of human capacity yet still keeping our humanness. Right: Fully augmented to the point where any aspects of human characteristics are gone.
Bottom: We are reborn as Cyborgs.

I was interested in a mix of space exploration and transhumanism; ultimately the exploration of the self. I was intrigued with the idea that space becomes a metaphor of isolation. '2001: A Space Odyssey' influenced my approach of this exploration and being reborn as a superior being. 





The conflict between organic and artificial, design inspired by Michelangelo's 'The creation of Adam'.

Reborn

Rough concept that we are all like robots every time we look at a computer screen.  We become consumed by the fantasy of being able to create, edit and share the way we want to perceive ourselves towards others around the world; we become lured into the idea that technology never dies and stays forever young. 





Video experiment of how i could approach this concept. Quite rough and unfinished, nothing is finalised.

Hello


Saw Ghost in the Shell and really liked some shots in the film. Made a rendition of my own character based on one of them and an early concept of what could be seen through the changing landscape of the train.


Also a shot taken from Ghost in the Shell, mainly done for the study of colour and composition, however i took quite an interest in a retro-fitted future which films such as Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner Possess.
