Symbolizing society

                                                               Techno civilians

The new world we created is the world where human gets all the work done by the robots and they would live the luxurious life. The civilization before us looks like was of the robotic ones as we found the remnant of the machines and guns and robots. So we planned to continue the civilization. The main concerned of our new society will be the comfort of the human beings. Our work will be done within the tip of our finger as we will have the remote to control robots and make them work.  We will be known as the “Techno civilians ”.

Our banners represent us, our society and our environment. We want our society to be environmental concerned and keep it fresh and clean too.

The semiotics of survival

Holbein, Hans /Younger/ Sir Thomas More,  oil on canvas, 1527 
    This portrait of the person comes under the iconic representation . It represents the person of the certain place with those unique hairstyle and clothing and the jewellery. This person might be the idol of some sort of civilizzation. His looks are intense and he is helding something in his hand That might have some sort of meaning to the age he lived in.

Yves Klein, Anthropometry ANT 85, 1960. 155.5 x 352.5cm. 
(body prints of female models painted with his universal blue) 



This is the indexical form of representation. Its the body print of the female that is presented in the form of style with those female body of 5 in a row.


 This is the symbolic representation. Symbol and the digit
 has been used to present some  meaning. In today's world , we call it as the symbol for heart shaped.

This comes under the indexical form of representation . Here the human nude body is being used to represent  some significance. There is this woman in the chair ,looks like she is staring at the windows while the other nude women body is hanging right in front of her . The hanging part of this representation is blurred which means may be its only the imagination of the woman sitting in the chair.

Chateau Lafite,1988

This artwork by Ai Wei Wei is kind of eye catchy as an empty bottle is strapped by the shoes. Artist has used the easily available material like shoes and the bottle . This artform looks like the bottle trapped in between shoes. Green bottle is strapped by the brown shoes giving the artwork a dark combination. Curator has so well organized the artworks of the artist that gives the significance to the art. This image of artist was place in between the artwork made up of mud in the form of the vessels and on the floor were the many colorful vessels. Basically the organization of these artworks ,placement of each vessels seems to be more meaningful.

Furthermore, this artwork sort of reflects the idea of criticism as the bottle through which we drink ,is placed at the shoes, worn at the feet. In other way , bottle can be considered as something useful which is kept at the level of feet, lowering its value of usefulness. This might have been used against the government or the high officials which is the most powerful source  in the country and artist has tried to unsupport their works and policies in this artform. He has tried to show his respect toward those powerful agent by positioning them in between the feet.  In a very simple way by using very common items , artist has put together those items in a very thoughtful way.

About the manufacture of this artwork , I think some expertise might have designed the shoe and artist might have placed it together to give some meaning to it.  This artwork by Ai Wei Wei is sort of protest or criticism against some powerful agents or source .
