HOMOCHROME
Demand the intimacy of your identity lost in this digital jungle. Xerox is on the move to cut, copy, and paste your identity to anyone with a screen. Interconnectivity between homo sapiens and machines has never been closer. Generation Z solidifies the blurred lines between real life and the digital world known to become a Stagnant Reality. Their interconnectivity subjects them to create their own reality to escape. Although, some are nostalgic of the days of old, this Dark Pearl brings a somber flair to retro high life by embracing the past with an attitude of the future. A wicked outsider changes all the rules, defying society’s strong hold to technology and nomadically collaging life from extinct cultures and exotic religions as they go along. This Crazed Mystic has all the answers you ever so desire but you must travel along the rabbit hole. Designers take a page from the mathematician’s book in Planned Algorithms. Precise techniques of design take precedence over haphazard prototypes. This linear focus describes both fashion and design products with a graphic twist.
XEROX In a world where we are constantly loggedin, there are new questions and concerns regarding our perception of privacy and who owns our digital identity. At the touch of a button, we share our likes and dislikes with total strangers, and are comfortable disclosing our various footsteps with the virtual world. We begin to remove ourselves from the grid, and reclaim our anonymity. The fight to withstand digital’s ravishing appetite for the public’s personal data has only begun.
