Industrial Revolution: Artist Statement

Industrial Revolution

Adam Ridley, Aldo Romero, Christian Cacho, Jonathon Wallach, Nohemi Hernandez
Photograph

This photo was based on the 18th century industrial revolution period. In the photo people are dancing, listening to music and ignoring the fact that they are creating a monster which is Frankenstein. Frankenstein is moving in this picture and laughing symbolizing how all the technology and factories and machines we use are disguised as good when in reality they create pollution and are a danger to our environment. In the picture Jonathan is still enjoying the moment, since Industrialization is all about the moment, not even considering the effect it will have later on. On the other hand Nohemi is starting to notice the monster living in front of her and is surprised but she keeps dancing symbolizing how we ignore all the warnings the environment has given us.
This portrait is supposed to take place in a lab were the monster is being created. There is equations in the back, papers thrown all over, tools, a computer, and boxes covered in aluminum to create a scientific background.
