RE: Android Awakening

in #art7 years ago

Geez, count me blown away. I just discovered you today following a resteem, to that person's resteem, then finding an old resteem of one of your posts. It was a rabbit trail, but I'm glad it led here. Your art is f-ing amazing. Attention to detail is top notch and I love the themes you use.

This piece makes me think of the "brain in a jar" concept; something I'd eventually like to explore with fiction writing. A sci-fi concept of being able to stimulate a brain in every way to create an artificial reality. The first thing that comes to peoples' minds would be the film The Matrix, but there's a lot more to explore with this concept. It's impressive what we can do with today's technology, although not even close to producing a convincing artificial reality through neurological simulation. One of the most impressive examples I saw recently was an amputee having the sensation of touch in a bionic arm.

Anyways, I digress. Excited to follow you and looking forward to seeing more of your art.

Thank you @aksounder! Glad you discovered me!
I used to be fascinated by the idea of a neurologically induced artificial reality, but seeing just the impact of today's social networks on our minds and lives makes me see things differently.
