The first research I did for this project was to look at how cut and paste montages and how some people are real life cyborgs and then started to look at adverts and films related to cyborgs and technology, with this in mind I decided to watch the film Wall-e. Watching this film gave me my starting point and idea.
While watching Wall-e I found it interesting how it showed how people would become if we completely relied on technology and the changes that would happen to us physically and mentally.
After doing this I decided on focusing on about how technology would change us and how we have started to rely on it. I decided to look at the brain and the different parts and how it works, and which parts would change the more we relied on technology. And how we would lose the ability to use certain parts of our brains. My view for this project is a dystopian view, I have chosen this view because I don’t think that it is a good thing that we have all started to rely on technology as much as we have and are starting to become more and more like cyborgs ourselves.
The audience I have decided to aim my work at is for a gallery wall, I have decided on a gallery wall because it is more fantasy art because it hasn’t been scientifically proven that it will actually happen to us in the future and I thought this would be more appropriate.

My work and image I have created is about how technology has become a big part of our lives and how we are starting to rely on it and how it isn’t good for us to rely on it so much. It’s also about how our brains would change the more we rely on technology because we wouldn’t have to use our brains so much because technology would do everything for us. My final image is a person with a small brain connected with wires from the brain to a hard drive. In my image I like how the face in it has no emotion, I feel like that shows even more that technology has took over the person. I have also shown in my image how the brain has got smaller my explanation behind this is that if we rely more and more on technology parts of our brains won't focus and work as much as they would if we didn't. With the hard drive I have shown how we plug ourselves into technology and that it's connected to us more ways than one. I think that I have shown what society could be like in the future and that this could happen to us unless we do something to change.
To create my image I got pictures from online (like the people who did montages who I researched) I think that the images I chose to use work well together and I got my point across well. To put my images together and change, cut out and add certain things I used photoshop, I have used photoshop for simple things but before doing this brief I didn’t no a lot of the stuff I used to create my image, I have learnt loads of new photoshop skills that I didn’t no how to do before which I feel has added a better quality to my image.
To start off with I wasn’t sure where my project would be going and what direction in would go in, this being the case I started off with loads of different research until I found out which direction I would be going in. I decided on a dystopian view and came up with the idea of technology controlling us. At the beginning I found it hard to get into this brief but after a while I think that I have shown understanding of what we needed to do and think that my idea worked really well.
