Description:
QR codes and Augmented Reality (AI) are becoming tools for engagement as technology and humanity merge. "Even After Being", "Extinction", is new technology surfacing everyday with the links of AI and robots, with no conscious. What if one day they turn against us and wipe us all out? Otherwise, a robot scan seeè will be fascinated by such. 

 

The scan seeè in the artwork simply means, "Scan and See Here".  The Flamingo is to broaden one's perspective, experience, imagination, and human-technology interaction. The paper like outline border represents seeè, it could go as far as boards, etc. I tried to also keep it minimalistic to give a welcoming feel to it, could look like this but get the most out of it. And the sound that plays when you've scanned it is to give the viewer the idea of how it can present sound. This is the future paintings, the display and story will be embedded on the paintings, similar to the metaverse.
