Description

*For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.* Richard Feynman ------------------- Photoshop Sources Used: Phone, Fiber Glass, Lens. --------------- Thank you syndroid for the tutorial.. I am gonna use it in all images I will make, but as you might notice, I use it my own way, because I could never imitate your art. I repscte and admire you too much for doing it. This piece is basically about the use we could make of technology as source of acknowledge and as tool for a good cultural exchange about elements in different societies. We live in a net of deep sharing. It's up to us to make this worthy in the end. For everyone, I mean, and not to transform the technology tools in a new reason of scarcity, and ignorance. Enjoy :) -------------------

Your art is always a pleasure to see. You do the most interesting and beautiful renderings of things that are often simple, but with your creativity, you make them speak volumes. As always, good work, Meli.

Excellent portrayal of meaning! So busy it all is and the lines all meet at some point like we are connected, but reality when submersed in it is so busy and full of crazyness! Nice piece Dear.

We are entangled in that net, wanted or not. I love internet, but have not got a cellphone yet. As if I want connection when I decide, don't want to be overwhelmed. Your image reminds me of that.I can feel both attraction and repellent in it.(Or maybe it is my age :-)

I like it very much that your work is always an exercise for more than just the visual senses.

I like it alot. Especially the beige/brown colours on the phone. It gives it a sort of acient look. Just like old books and papers. I read it in to that the phone will one day, and almost is already on its way, to become a very acient thing. Not in the sense it would go away. But in the sense that it is a very important tool for us as it is and that it will always be considered one of the biggest inventions. :) Also for what came after. And what it was leading into. The very big interaction of the world, as you have written in the text. :) Other than that I like the idea behind it and the very actual importance of it in this day and age. Great use of a piece to provoce good and deep thoughts :)
