The accompanying images that are presented to you here are from an ongoing body of work which sets out to investigate the associations between technology and our need and fascination with it. I have concentrated on the arena of telecommunications looking at its impact on society.
Here, I have found the embodiment of a contradiction that presents itself within our understanding of today’s communication technology, which is where my interest lies.
The contradiction I believe is the conflict between a unification and physical detachment of a person’s engagement with communication technology. How can these two elements work together as well as oppose one another, simultaneously unifying or at least implying unification?
The paradox of a need to communicate while remaining physically isolated by the very object of connectivity has led my investigation into describing behavioural responses with regard to communication, how we relate or comprehend technology on a humanistic level. In doing so I have found other areas that are representative of galvanising people into a group response, that project a sense of ritual, coveting, sect and in extremes; fanaticism.
