The more I’ve been thinkning about it, the more it seems obvious that this wheel that I’m making is the utter example of the theme that I’m trying to get at in this piece. By creating a digital wheel, I’ve created the very essence of dependancy on the previous technology for the next generation to be possible. It’s somewhat of an irony that I’m deliberately trying to show the fundamental core of all modern technologies by making it virtual, and therefor utterly revoking its place as the most grounded technology, and making it the most fragile. I think I’ll put my wheel at the end of the piece, as opposed to dispersly fading it throughout the piece, as I had intended, and have it as the end result; something so utterly removed from practicality (what’s the practical reason of a 3d dimensional computer generated wheel?) that it confounds reason.
I think I’ll call my piece Irony!
