"New boundaries are enabled by new kinds of technologies, by demands of new products and the imperatives of new economies"

Technology in the late 90's to the mid 2000's was clearly explored just like the artists of dadaism, cubists, and constructivists. Now technology is being pushed more and more. The question of why has always been asked, even why a machine has an animation and whether or not it is even worthy of the time. I believe the question is why not? Technology has made people question the beauty of the world around them, they get so sucked into the flatness of technology. Each step further into that design takes us away from the physicality of living our lives outside the framed screen. One of the biggest reasons ive wanted to be a designer was to make the world around me more apparent and beautiful. I think about what if the walls and ground we step on is a meshing of technology and nature. I think that technology is slowly pushing in that direction.

Introducing the ideas that the internet has provided us into the physical world is the next big thing. how can we make the world function like or with technology? We are neither limited nor belittled by our previous designers of the 21st century. We can create detail, reason, something of worth with technology all we have to do is continue to be avant-garde.
