Integrated Gradients

“Integrated Gradients” An exploration of the interconnectedness of people, objects, and time.

The industrial revolution changed humanity forever. People left their homesteads and their small communities and formed larger more diverse cities. With each subsequent revolution art changed to suit the beliefs of the people. Modernism, futurism, brutalism, and pop art are all products of the industrial world.

With the mass production of objects also came the mass produced mind and social engineering. The dulling down of a persons senses, inhibitions, individuality, the creation of the perfect worker citizen, a reliance on science, and a greater focus on the world economy.

There are very few unique experiences, if any. People are all generally the same. We eat, we sleep, we die, these are the few things we can count on in life. Novel ideas are quickly disavowed once discovered to be unprofitable. We celebrate the minor variations between us, and in our desperate attempts to find some sense of individuality within ourselves we forget what makes us the same.
