CloudWatcher

For my Final Course Project at my Visual Arts university, I created four pieces that explore the relationship between the human figure and cyborgs. Drawing inspiration from movies like MATRIX, TERMINATOR, and ROBOCOP, I designed each piece to represent different stages of my creative process: inspiration, sketchbook, development, and digital finishing. Each piece was intended to be tattooed on different parts of the body.

One of my pieces, called CloudWatcher (fig. 45), was inspired by the concept of cloud computing, which I find fascinating for representing a superior consciousness of virtual cognition used by the world wide web. I produced the composition of the drawing through photo collage and used artificial intelligence tools to generate the face of the figure. I also utilized digital production tools such as symmetry and image distortion. The remaining adornments were created through visual references that I collected on the internet I used recurring elements in oriental tattooing and symmetrical compositions that are very present in art nouveau.
