Decadent Progression, Leftby ~godwinfj

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Surreal

This is the left panel of a diptych.
Right panel here: [link]

In his endless pursuit of progress, man has built around him a Machine. It is a construction of utmost magnificence, but though man is its operator, subsistence, and champion, he relishes in the success of his own creation and becomes a slave to it, bound in perpetuity to its artificial nature of necessity. This is not some fantasy vision of a future world, it is right here and now, all around us – the Machine is an archetype of the world that chases after money mindlessly. Just what is this economic betterment we all strive for? Bigger homes, brighter children, healthier lives – everything in the definition of a modern society is tied down to the concept of money, so much so that it is ingrained within us all that such a “reality” is the true purpose of life. From the point we are "mouldable", lives are planned, expected and demanded as mere assets and investments towards the greater advancement of humanity. We become blindly driven by those around us and even ourselves to succeed within the framework of this Machine, expending all strength, emotion and commitment to ensure its eventual continuation.

Beautiful job man. The description sets it off. Those drones working away on the bikes reminds me of the gym. Im not sure why they don't hook stationary bikes up to the grid like this; it'd save money.. and isn't that what were all after?!.. haha
