I then experimented with overlapping colours with the spiral in order to create a glitch effect that i had previously investigated earlier on with the tv error screen.

To experiment with this swirling pattern i decided to use processing to quickly generate patterns. I used Learningprocessesing.com to get the base code for this pattern.

I decided to take a step back from from my idea of collaging the finger print with a face and instead focus in on ways i could manipulate the swirling pattern of the print instead. I looked to cases in nature which share this similar pattern in order to explore different textures and colours

To explore this concept I first started to sketch up some quick images of humans with inanimate objects placed where their heads should be.  I felt like the tv head concept was the most interesting due to the different colours that could be used as well as a tv being a very recognisable but simple shape that I could experiment with.

These two are just some examples of how technology has been integrated into our human body to further advance our senses and capabilities.  Metal and technology is becoming more and more common in our everyday lives and bodies such as prosthetic limbs and implants. What I want to explore in my design is how different technologies can be incorporated into the human body to raise the question of when do we become more metal than flesh that we lose what makes us human.

Moon Ribas is renowned for her development into Seismic Sense which allows her to perceive earthquakes that happen anywhere in the world via vibrations she can feel through implants on her feet.  To show what she experiences she often creates music or choreographed dances to the vibration of an earthquake to visually capture her experience.

Neil Harbisson is the first person in the world to have an antenna implanted into his skull. The antenna has many features such as allowing him to receive data and signals from satellites and picking up on invisible colours through vibrations. The addition of the metal contraption made the government legally view him as a cyborg as Harrison argued the antenna was a part of him and thus should be viewed as an extension of himself just like an arm or leg would be viewed as.

I went for a black and white error screen for the tv in the middle which I thought was much more interesting visually than the bars of colours I had previously used. This was because of the fuzzy texture and better colour choice due to the harmony between the black and grey colour scheme that made the finger print designs stand out more.

I then decided to create a better composition for my designs by combining them in a square format that took inspiration from Andy Warhol. I decided that I should also create a key element in the centre a focal point. I drew a tv error screen in the centre with similar colours to the error screen in the background. I felt like the colours did not really suit the overall design but I liked the concept of a tv being the centre piece as it illustrated the idea of a false reality through technology.

To start experimenting with the concept of loss of identity I used an image of a black and white model and edited a black space where her face should be. I then inverted my finger print drawings and placed it on top of the black shape.  I next took the image of a retro tv error screen and used that as the backdrop. I felt this would convey the idea of disarray whilst also being interesting to look at.

An idea i had to explore technologies impact on being human is the point that through technology we are losing what makes us human, our flaws. With photoshop and other editing softwares people are dramatically changing the perception of what humans look like. I decided to start collaging and messing with human faces as they are a way in which we emote and identify one another.

The first thing I wanted to do was to take a recognisable image/symbol and try to experiment with different styles and textures to see what aesthetic it would provide. The first thing that popped up when thinking about a symbol that encapsulates what it means to be human is the imagery of a finger print. Finger prints are biological proof that we are all unique and often symbolise greater themes such as identity and the idea of leaving a permanent mark.

I wanted to try creating more abstract art to illustrate my idea of mimicry so i decided to investigate other mantises species that had unique patterns which mimicked other animals. Insects as a whole are very alien like due to their biology, they are also a source of fear too many people which would allow me to portray the sense of unease that comes with the idea of A.I becoming smarter. I wanted to start with doing some studies focusing on the different textures, colours and patterns of the species to see what kind of aesthetic appeal it would bring.

I decided to lean into this concept of mimicry by drawing my previous sketch in more detail using the colour scheme from an orchid mantis. I also decided to add more to the hair to make the shapes a bit more complex and striking.

# data[].attributes.body
The two slots on either side of the face really gave the design an insect kind of look so I decided to lean into this idea. I ended up deciding that the colour scheme should mimic an orchid mantis as its behaviour fits the idea of Artificial intelligence trying to mimic humans and human behaviour just as the mantis mimics the orchid flower.

I then took my favourite thumbnail sketch and refined it a bit to show a clear outline. I chose to refine this sketch due to the hair being tied up that makes the design look taller in height which makes it slightly imposing and creepy.

# data[].attributes.body
I started out with really simplistic thumbnail sketches to quickly come up with an interesting shape and design for a mask of a humans face. I over exaggerated certain features such as the hair to make the design more eye catching and intresting.

Another big inspiration is the robotic designs from the movie "Ghost in the Shell" . This particular design has an eerie smooth plastic face that opens up to reveal a rougher and more complex machinery interior. I really like how the face opens up and the uncanny valley feel it portrays. I would like to incorporate this sense of unease into my own design to convey the anxiety that many people have about Artificial intelligence.

Billy Nunez is a Boston based artist who is best known for his illustrative portraits. He uses a wide range of media from acrylic to digital. His series entitled "future face" shows a collection of organic faces that open to reveal a synthetic robotic surface beneath. I would like to explore doing some similar designs to convey the idea of crossing the line between A.I and humanity
