Description I've had a lot of discussion about computers and technology over and over again, and some of them circled around the topic creature/machine-interface. There are so many different ways of getting your point across to a computer, you can type on your keyboard, move your mouse, the pen on some graphic-tablet, a trackball, speech-recognition, touchscreen. As all of these have their merits and flaws most are even used together like the ever so traditional mouse / keyboard combo - hey, traditional already after a mere few decades of computers at all!
On one occasion I mentioned I dreamt about a one-thing-for-all input device - when a friend replied "hey, in movies there already is one - the headjack".

No matter how realistic or not the idea of a universal way of thoughts-only communication with machines is, eventually requiring one and the same operation system for all components to "speak the same language", requiring one and the same format of connector if one thinks oldschool like in cables (damn, so frighteningly retro even nowadays already) instead of bluetooth or whatever... I want that. I crave a way to let my thoughts travel around the world to the people I know without having to type until my fingers ache, few little percent of the speed of thought, every word ever so slowly creeping along the cursor. I want true multitasking. Damnit I WANT ROOM SERVICE!!

Yes, I do love my cables. I really do. I do love the way imagination enables me to stick things into my spine, implant wings to my back and fly by simply closing my eyes.

This is a work in progress kind of thing. I'm not done deciding on the background, the composition of the whole thing and the format of the paper. Maybe I will put several sheets of paper together to fit it the way it needs to fit, maybe I will find a fitting frame.

Done (so far) with:
- Copic Pigment Ink Fineliners size 0.05 and 0.1
- Copic Markers
- Polychromos Colored Pencils
- White Gel-Pen
- Edding White Permanent Marker

Something's not right with my chest. So I stapled it.

tee hee. lol. I love my DSL, even though I know it's probably not nearly as cool as your CABLE! XD lol. Anyhow... this is another fun pic. I just love your style, it's so unique!! And your use of color is magnificant too. I have to draw your gecko character some time. He kicks much ass. As well as being sexy in his own way at the same time. ^^ Great job on this pic, I like it a lot. I will have to watch and fave a few more of your arts.

Everythings so detailed. The pants, the hair, the body, the eyes, its fucking amazing. I don't have enough patience to do anything like that. It would drive me insane before I even got halfway done.

I envy your patience and talent.

That looks cool, sexy and weird XD
the coolness comes fomr the usual coolness of your artistic style of course, the sexy comes from his sort of scantly clad look and the redish thong thingie in his pants, and of course the licking of teh cords!
The weirdness is because of the same reason as the coolness!

I think I'll +fav this

You know... I simply adore your coloring and attention to details. ~Puts on her comment/essay helmet.~ The pose you've got yourself in is wonderful and I love your pants to death. I really like the staples too, and the cable from your head, it just looks so nice. But I think that catches my eye the most (aside from the cable) is your hair and your eye... VERY lovely work, I can't wait to see it with the background. Gut gemacht.

Thank you very much!

I slowly get an idea about how the finished piece will look - however it'll take me some more time to dare starting with the background, mostly in fear of ruining the picture as it is so far...

Haha, I've been trying to color it more shiny and 'plastic'-like this time cuz everybody's mistaking it for hair while it's actually more some kind of flexible spines. Hm, or something somewhere in between, it grows, can be cut off and it regrows, but it's not floofy...

The question on everyone's mind, well at least everyone that's me, is what would the hackers of the future be like and what would happen if you got 'hacked'.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

artificialgekko In reply to Tafka [2004-07-09 22:27:52 +0000 UTC]

Hm, I'm not sure about that one - though so far I figure thoughts to be some kind of input-device, which is rather one-way. You can't hack a keyboard nor a mouse, only the computer it's attached to, so eventually not much will change. Your computer will get screwed with, but it's no matter if you plug a keyboard or your head into it.

Frying peoples' brains = Shadowrun. I always thought that to be one of the "only there for game-balance" things. I mean, you can of course give a decent electric shock through that cable plugged in your temple - but why not simply build a fuse into that deck or whatever you call it?

Well the human brain is a computer of sorts, what if you send them ungodly amount of crap to try and figuratively fry the brain with an overload or something...

...I dunno, I'm just making this up as I go along.
