Surreal, Thought-Provoking Computer Messages As Metaphors For Existentialism





Much like this series of computer error messages inserted into scanned polaroid pictures, Leeds-based graphic artist Ventral Is Golden’s project attempts to impart some humanity to Macbook message boxes.



‘Ok, I am Human Now’ brings together two seemingly unrelated things by pairing computer-generated statements, questions and commands with old found images.



One message asks “Are you still there?” over a picture of a sunset, while another states “A drawing error occurred” over what looks like an incomplete painting.



Surreal and thought-provoking, the collages hint at a deeper existential meaning, and aim to give you pause as you read them.
