ARTIST STATEMENT
Every great work of art has two faces, one toward it's own time and one toward its future
-Lester Bangs
People today are becoming more and more attached to their technology. Relationships are being built online or through phones. Keyboards and keypads are becoming the keys to our heart. Many people have argued that social networking sites unleash the two faces in humans. People normally only portray their ideal image online, they could be perfect online but in reality they might be the total opposite. In my opinion, the two face-ness doesn't stop there. It has actually been derived from the advance technology itself. As the quote implies, the good side of technology is so prominent right now. Give it some years or even decades, that's when the downfall will kick in and hit us real bad.
As for Medicines,they could help many people to stay alive, they could also kill people if they are turned into drugs. Technology, keeps us smart and efficient, just like the brain. However, it could also corrode our hearts and disrupt our health. Technology provides transportation to allow people to travel instantly and conveniently. But the same kind of technology can be used to create atomic bombs to harm other people's life. Technology allows advanced communication to take place where the whole world is connected in a blink of an eye. On the other hand, technology also allows phishing, hacking, virus and bugs to corrupt our devices. It's true that technology provides us advanced facilities and the beautiful city we live in. But how about the other side of technology that pollutes our environment as more and more factories are being built? Besides, technology also gives us cars in all shapes and sizes to travel around. But what happens when you end up in an accident?
The puzzle combination shows that there's a link between the good and bad. There's always two sides to everything in this world : good or bad, you decide.
Lots of love, A dose of Joey
