The Web is Dead

The article The Web is Dead speaks on subjects true to majority of the people who have internet access. Rather than using your web browser to find an internet website, many go directly to pages such as Facebook, or Twitter. The popularity of the ever-successful IPod, and IPhone, has allowed people to more easily access websites without using the web browser. Users can simply download an IPod application, and at the touch of the screen, be directed to the Facebook page.
This article brought to me awareness of the life-consuming technology that we use everyday. Many would not be able to survive a day without checking their email, whether for their business, or to talk to friends. Our reliance on technology is all-consuming; if we were without technology and our media for just one day, our world would be chaotic.

Rob Sheridan: Favourite Artist

Rob Sheridan is a graphic designer, director, and art director. He is best known for his work with the band Nine Inch Nails. He began working for their website, and soon after took over as director and as their art director. Sheridan has his own, much distinctive style. A personal favorite is his print "Presents opening children". This particular print which had been described as weird, odd, messed-up, creepy and morbid by many individuals on the internet, attracted me. It depicts a family at Christmas, however, the family is in fact the presents. The gifts under the Christmas tree are wrapped in children. Morbid, indeed. Twisted, indeed. Beautiful, creative, imaginative, most definitely. This particular print emphasizes his sense of creativity and willingness to push past traditional art which is what I idolize most.
