Into the Gaussian Blue

This work is a drypoint print created from a carved mousepad. The medium; drypoint is an analogue medium originally used by mater printmakers like Rembrandt, here I have utilised it on plastic. The imagery too points towards the relationship between, technology (in the form of the techno capital singularity) and the human. What is depicted in the central triptych is the manner in which human subjectivity in its full radically is encapsulated by the physical and epistemological cage of capital. The final panel specifically shows the figure of David -most famously portrayed as an expression of the heroic Florentine republic's proto-bourgeois is trapped in the panopticon of techno-capital singularity. 
 
In its expression of the uniquely human notion of tragedy the work is anachronistic. It points to the end of the human, the way in which human needs, wants and desires are secondary to the ruthless pursuit of capital -what Marx famously describes as 'the icy waters of egotistical calculation'.
