The Grip of Technology

This project’s outcome is a set of four editorial-style animated gifs; each of a figure (representing humanity) interacting with pieces of technology that in turn is holding onto, almost embracing them within an empty, three-dimensional digital space. In these, I have combined the sketch-like, textured appearance of certain elements within each piece (particularly the physical material scanned and used for the background) with a digital medium in which it is animated to create a contrasting marriage between the physical and the digital, fulfilling my aim and initial ideas for this project to explore how much technology has become such a comforting yet absorbing entity that we rely and depend upon every day.
