The human relationship with machines is one were we are locked into a spiral of ever increasing production, possibilities for future products, and new machines to produce them. We now find ourselves in a situation where nearly everything that surrounds us has been created by machines.
Within this human/machine spiral, we create individual identities represented by the products of the human / machine relationship, further binding the two together. How do we recognize our place and the meaning of perpetuating the spiral?
The Self Portrait Machine is a human / machine relationship miniature; by cooperating with the machine, a self portrait is generated. It is self-drawn but from an external viewpoint through controlled movement and limited possibility. Our choice of how we are represented is limited to what the machine will allow, and we adapt to create our ideal outcome.
