barque of the lost daze

Written by David Kemp. Posted in The Blog

This winter ,I avoided the cold weather, cold and damp of my workshop and worked instead from the warmth and shelter of my garden room.
Limited space has meant that I have had to work on a small scale, but I have been constructing more sculptures  from  similar objects rescued from the rapidly accumulating pile of redundant domestic electrical components that clutter our  lives.

The barque of the lost daze

 

 

 

The so called “digital age” of “smart devices” designed to assist our lives ,

also seems increasingly to order and even control  us?

There are clever machines for every task ,answers for  every question,instant information  for all enquiries.

Information  however,is not necessarily knowledge,  and I.T  does not supply  wisdom.

 

 

 

Traditional beliefs and philosophies are falling like dominoes ,succumbing to the  “authority” of  artificial intelligence,

misinformation and “fake news” Belief systems, consumerism  politics ,democracy ,and faiths  are being  overtaken  by  the

omnipotent ,but very convenient machines, that some fear  may soon render  humans  redundant ?

 

“CROSS WIRED”
