Artist Statement: This experience was an interesting one. I had a little bit of a challenge with Photoshop but I tried my best and I got a lot out of it. I really enjoyed reading “Lines of Sight in the ‘Network Society’: Stimulation, Art Education, and a Digital Visual Culture” By Robert Sweeny and picking out one big idea and conducting research on it. First I looked at social connections. I asked myself what is a social connection? How do people communicate? What is the difference between interacting socially and interacting over the computer or cell phone? What kind of relationships can one build communicating in person verses communication over technology? What kind of boundaries come about? With these questions in mind, I went to the internet. I researched about communication and came up with three difference clusters of photos; human interaction, social connections, talking over the phone and taking over the computer. In the end I composited a picture that encompassed all of the above components that I explored and made a picture that shows the world and all of the ways humans interact and communicate with each other.
