The Cyborg

Cyborg: both biological and artificial (e.g. electronic, mechanical or robotic) parts. 


When it comes to thinking about Cyborgs, what i see if robots, artificial intelligence, sky-net and touchscreen phones.But these aspects are very obvious and frank, with this subject i need to look more deeper into the different aspects of the digital revolution:



  • Racism
  • Representation of the body
  • banks
  • how technology has advanced
  • The body as a commodity
  • Advertising/Billboards
  • Audience
Electronics has in a way become an extension of ourselves, and through this many has lost there touch with reality, and rely on it to feel 'normal' and in touch to a parallel universe where they are perceived in a way that they want to be seen. Because of this the real world become unattractive as it can only give you so much, where as the cyber and electronic world can give you very much more.

Through voice controlled technology to touchscreen the digital revolution is taking over, and fast. We are wanting quicker and convenient ways to live our lives, and technology is gladly giving it to us. From relationships on online dating sites to voice controlled consoles we are being given the tools to almost dumb down our minds and let the tech do the work.

These are just some of the aspects of the digital age that i will be looking more into and analysing.
