“SOCRATES EMBRACES”

​

“Socrates Embraces” demonstrate the current and positive relationship between humanity and technology. It productively unites and merge the two. And progressively influence all aspect of life that has meaning, freedom of choice, human sense of scale and individual creativity. In a world in which computers, information and the mass media rule, we need to have technological partners that can be understandable and easy to work with. Technology is growing smarter every day, and it is our responsibility to determined how far it can be unfolded. We have reached a point where in order to fulfill our human drives without destroying the world that we depend upon; we need to rely heavily on learning how to mitigate the delicate balance with technology. A balance that needs to be celebrated, but also a balance that need to be examined with great caution.

​

It is true that technology sometimes has a bad reputation for leading humanity down a scary path. But, if we truly want to grasp how much technology is important in our live, we need to imagine life without it. It is an essential part of our lives, and a few can imagine living without it. Technology has always been a major means of creating new physical and human environment, and of improving human living condition. It offers wide array of tools that made our live so convenient. It can also resolve many of the greatest dilemmas of the 21st century. We certainly living in exciting and promising times thanks to technological innovation.

 

Today, our relationship with technology is deeply interwoven. And as technology get smarter it is imperative that it communicate with us in the most transparent and efficient methods and energies. It must have the ability to explain both its process and its results to the greatest and meaningful exchange, ensuring a positive effect in which we can learn, think and productively enhance and manage our human living condition. If not, we could build ourselves in compartmentalize digital world that provide us with answers, but not insight.

 

 “Socrates Embraces” point to the necessary rediscovery of men reconciliation with technology through Virtue Courage and Wisdom. It is an absolutely essential act for humanity, to productively unite with technology in this rapidly evolving technological culture. And to demonstrate the vitality of the merge, “Socrates Embraces” is reaching high to the infinite sky to receive a signal that will peacefully resolve the differences between the two, and ultimately will tie and bond both humanity and technology without the risk of being control, or overpower by it.

​

To demonstrate that, “Socrates Embrace” is doing so by benefiting from one of the most advanced space based technological equipment, the satellite. Which delivered and exposed humanity together with the panoply of plains, mountains, deserts and oceans, at the sea of the sky as we never saw before. Like a child who clime a tree to get a better look of the neighborhood. The tree is the platform, the eye is the censored system, and the brain is the recording device. “Socrates Embraces” climb high, confirming what Socrates said long ago, “If we could rise above the Earth, only then we can understand the world in which we live”

​

“Socrates Embraces” is painted in “Neo Anything” style. Its approach may act in the same spirit as classicism that borrowed from old masters. But the use of color, text, and technique certainly open doors to contemporary realities. By understand the methods and manners of both schools, “Socrates Embraces” successfully integrates and links the past and present with the future, to transcend the fashion of the day to create something truly new. Canvases are painted with classical romantic figures embodied in nature, depicting the Earth topography with the basic colors that typically found in a map. The figures’ posture and context are also very important to further communicate the idea of the theme and style. They fill with spiritual and evocative texts that are randomly placed deliberately; just as abstract form appears in nature. Furthermore. they carry a powerful meaning that play a major role in amplifying the rise of the theme, and subsequently, the peaceful coexisting of humanity and technology.

​

 In fact, the combination of text with the figures’ posture and style may seem strange, but logical turn of event. Viewers have the capability of being move through the art, and having constant stream of information. As part of sequence of psychological steps. They will have to observe and then read through to get to the next step. They will come with certain expectation, and they will be rewarded with new insight. Of thinking about art. And what does this art do and mean.
