Postmodernism Project

For my Postmodernism project I went off the quote, "The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence" (Jean Baudrillard). On my project I put images of robots, to animals, to blurring the lines with cyborgs. The idea of the entire project was to try and represent the quote and send the message that artificial intelligence is becoming so realistic the line between the two is beginning to become indiscernible.

The color scheme in this project was somewhat of a mixture of my own custom color scheme along with a reddish orange and blue complimentary color scheme. Also, black and white splattered paint is all across the painting. I chose this scheme because of the images that I chose. I was trying to represent the burring line between humans and Artificial intelligence. The color scheme I chose represents how the AI side of the painting (red orange side) which is being represented by an evil robot is bad and how they are against humanity. It is the more fiery intense color. Hence, the organic intelligence side of the painting is represented by a calming deep ocean blue. All of these images surround an image of cyborg Jimmy Fallon who represents the blurring line. The white paint splatters on the organic side represent the light and goodness of humanity; while the black splatters represent the potential malice of AI. These splatters and both eventually placed all over the image of Jimmy Fallon, once again representing the blurring line. Finally, the eyes of the fox and the robot are both painted the color opposite of them to yet again represent the blurring line. The way the images are placed and the color scheme go hand in hand with the denotative, connotative, and ideological message the painting was trying to get across. Denotatively, it is pretty obvious to understand. However, connotatively and ideologically are pretty similar to what I explained with the color scheme and the way the images are placed all try to convey the message that AI lacks artifice and that there is potential malice towards humans, and that the line between us is actually beginning to become indiscernible.
