BeforeBecomingBeing

Here is a sketch I whipped up recently as a study for a triptych painting. It's pretty cheesy, so I decided not to make it, but the sketch is still worth looking at.


The point behind this painting was to be to imagine that we became so independent of our sensory organs that we lost them entirely. At a conference I was at a couple of weekends ago, one of the speakers talked about the 'practical' telepathy afforded by cellular phones. I thought this was really interesting. He also spoke about researchers who seriously envision telecommunication implants in the throat and ears as a possibility in the near future. This would literally allow us to communicate sub-vocally.
