Through the process of human civilisation and transformation from villages, cities and countries, the desire of humans to have a better and easier life from the basic tools to survive like in the pre-historic times, to the modern age where we are now facing a huge challenge to control what we have been creating; to be controlled by our technology, where the title of the painting comes from – The Transfer of Knowledge.
When creating a machine, we are providing it with all its information and designing how it should look and when the product is finished and it functions perfectly we are believing in our product and relying on it to better our life. But unfortunately the process does not stop there; humanity today is heavily dependent on its technology. The databases in hospitals and banks today contain millions of private information that are not found in our minds or in writing. Our daily communication device, the mobile phone, contains multiple phone numbers of our family, friends and spouse, and sometimes personal numbers our minds cannot remember. Some of us are using the Satellite Navigation from the house to the local shops to get directions, whilst geese are travelling thousands of miles and return with no map. All the drones, the new weaponry designed and sent alone to take away life. Most of the information applied in our daily life are received from man-made machines, like the collapsing of the world market, where individuals lost billions and were condemned by relying on information from a computer. Those devices are choosing who is qualified for a job, after certain information has been put in place, which does not usually correspond with the person sitting at the interview table. Half of the working force are sitting at home getting fatter and relying on benefits while the computers, robots, cashier machines are doing the job. Those machines do the shopping for us; walk for us (lifts, escalators); do our house work (washings plates, washing clothes, bread making…); plan our travel and many more.
Humans are so heavily dependent on their technology today that it’s difficult to notice how much we have lost in the capacity to keep information in our minds or to move from places to places with our own sense of direction. Just as natural catastrophes have caused cities to stay in darkness for days or even our atmosphere where our satellites are stationed causing debris, there is not 100% trust in the longevity of such of dependence in our technology.
We should progress with our technology but in the same time remember how to do things manually to safeguard the future.
