The Internet is becoming an increasingly significant tool in our lives. The majority of our communication occurs through social media. However, we found ourselves looking at the lives of people that we do not know and we do not care but we keep watching. In most instances, people don't even realize they're mindlessly scrolling on social media. This is because they're so engrossed in their feeds that time passes by very rapidly.

Due to this, I wondered: can this impulsive repetitive behavior be considered as a way to interact with an artwork on social media?




Human + Machine + X = Humachinex

By all of those studies I assume that

The human body is transformed first by the environment and natural selection, and then by scientific innovations. In re-engineering the world to become what human desires, it is turning from natural algorithms to artificial algorithms. Tomorrow, Homo sapiens will have the technology in their body. For this reason, it is called Homachinex. Homachinex defined a box for himself to fit within and say, I exist. But that box limits him to the point where he loses touch with the real world and only his identity remains in the virtual world. In the world of zero and one of virtual cloud, everything is black and white. Meet him on his Instagram page and see the story of his creation and death. In solitude, he observes your likes. He is a spirit within the cloud.
