The artwork reflects both positive and negative responses that have arisen out of using these now ubiquitous machines and information technology. Not only does Information Technology (I.T.) help us organize and do various tasks far more easily, it also gives us the power to connect information and people from both across the street and across the world. What we are facing is a growing revolution in our social structures as a result
