Future Shock

3D Model

Future Shock is referring to the convergence of virtual and visceral, juxtaposing modern warfare with digital connection. The avatar, presented in a pose of vulnerability, kneels with glitching shards emanating from its head, symbolizing the overwhelming influx of information and the fragmentation of identity in the digital age. The polygonal texture of the all too familar “bald mannequin” figure accentuates its digital origins and the erratic animation highlights the emotional turmoil of navigating a world both online and off. This piece serves as a poignant commentary on the modern human condition, where technology can be both a bridge and a barrier, connecting us while simultaneously tearing us apart.

This piece can be displayed in your hand via AR, or blown up and treated more like archecture. Visiting inside the head in VR is recommended.
