  Hi Carole, I liked the baby machine/ machine baby visual and aural smack in the face impact! I liked the format, too – poster cum pinboard but with movement, colour and thought-provoking text. I teach all female classes and showed them this image (hope that was ok) – they had so much to say about it especially about the man with the baby computer/ computer baby.

All comments gratefully received underneath the image on Flickr. I’ll be interested to know how you read the image. Now going to try and add Flickr to my life stream – fingers crossed!

Including the audio brings it together but I think it allows for more varied interpretation if first watched without.

  Hi Steph,
  
  I like your visual artefact, from the virtual world of your opening image to the real world. Thought the song added to the effect. You divided up your theme very well, there was a good balance of images showing both positive and negative aspects. Being an expat communication is important to me. And the image of the crime being videoed for entertainment is in stark contrast to my use of the media. Made me feel quite sad.

I’ve posted mine here:

I struggled more with the theme of it than the technical side… I had so many ideas, and found it hard to pick one to go with.

  Hi Grace, I loved your inclusion of the prayer rug with the depiction of the traditional elements of paradise ie the secret walled garden. It seems that so much of our digital selves is aspirational – we create beautiful avatars, post upbeat FB messages and project what we see as being the best of us onto the screen, just as praying seems to be a way of saying “help me be better than I am.” The other elements blend into a scene of both aspiration and despair – from the girl transforming into an online presence to Old Man’s War. Really enjoyed this – I wondered, too, about the prayer rug if you included this as a reference to access?

    Hi Neil, yeah I thought the rug was a nice touch. My idea was that the tree symbolised growth, branching out in many directions. Making the connection that what we do affects us all, whether we benefit or suffer. I do like your interpretation and wish I’d been that clever.

This is the link to my visual artefact

Grace and I live in the same part of the world and, as she has commented, it has been challenging this week to get consistent internet access. Hope you all have better luck accessing this!

  The link isn’t working for me Neil – well, not this evening anyway. I’ll have another go tomorrow. Insh’allah it’ll work then.

  Hi Neil,
  
  Your visual artefact is amazing. Love the title and so apt! Mixing cultures, people and places – there is such a lot going on. Lots of comparisons too: the nurturing Robot and the scary Daleks; people who count and those who don’t; ghosts of the past and ghostly presences.
  
  Your collages are amazing. Lots to be said on the larger one itself. From a distance it looks like a typical street in India, full of people, traffic, animals, hustle and bustle. It looks familiar until you notice the gods, temples and ghostly presences. The young girl grieving for her mother is so sad. Is this portraying grief about the way things are moving? Violence and death can be found in the street rubbish. A depiction may be of the violence of videoed crimes, games? The death of a more innocent age? Your collages definitely have an uncanny feel.
  
  I could say more but it’s getting late and I need to be up early tomorrow. Your site is worth a second visit though.
