Sub(conscious) Flow

The pace of the city is one of constantly increasing speed. Mundane acts are easily forgotten as time consuming nuisances. Sub(conscious) Flow is about being trapped in a single repetitive, ordinary moment. With no escape from a time bubble, perhaps the mind would create time to relax and experience the world. Or perhaps it would not.

For Machines, By Machines

Mass produced foods in the 21st century have become more synthetic than natural. This separation from nature and fast food's incredible resilience to decay make it seem more suitable for machine than human consumption.

Switching Networks Due to Signal Error

Switching Networks Due To Signal Error from Alfredo Salazar-Caro on Vimeo.

With young technologies like the internet new possibilities arise. Games like World of Warcraft and Second Life and even programs like Facebook give users the option to abandon social reality to join virtual communities. Would it be possible to achieve conscious immortality by becoming permanently connected to the internet? Will there be an option in the future to abandon out physical bodies for a digital avatar?

100% Machine Separated is a comment on the disconnection between american culture and their food source. The vast majority of people in this country consume food that is artificially constituted in factories, where food is packed with chemicals in order to preserve it and make it visually appealing. The lack of questioning of where this food is coming from is a leeway for industries to abuse their consumers.
