"It isn't only art that's incompatible with happiness; it's also science. Science is dangerous; we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled."
- Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
Due to the exponential impact technological influences have in our lives, technology will create obligations, expectations, and forms of learning much different from the ways we traditionally interpret our surroundings and ourselves. Because of technology’s ability to evolve, synthesize, and derive interdisciplinary forms of thinking, the fundamental boundaries of cognition are at crossroads. In a world filled with individuals who text and drive, technology has a subtle way of slowly reconfiguring our cognition. I establish the origins of my theoretical parameters by using the eight distinct intellectual dispositions (mathematical, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, linguistic, interpersonal, intra personal, and naturalistic) of the Multiple Intelligence Theory. From those specific “modalities”, I merge, manipulate, and create an array of systems and languages modified to illustrate the subtle ways technology has affected the comprehension of each “modality”.
My aesthetic choices reflect the unforeseeable and detrimental consequences of our blind immersion into technology. With a commitment to draw attention to the ramification of our choices, I closely abide by Dieter Ram’s Ten Principles of Good Design. In an era where modern technology has contributed to a multitude of issues from anywhere like environmental damage to over-reliance, I present my systems as satirical adaptations of our present that allude to something much like Aldous Huxley's portrayal of his view of the dystopian future in Brave New World. I use industrial materials like LEDs, acrylics/ plastics, sensors, and various metals designed in manner that is edited to bare essentials with wayward notions of play, interactivity, and introspection.
