Commissioned by the Ann Arbor Arts Center and Clinc, Inc. in Ann Arbor, MI. The mural considers our relationship with technology, social media, and artificial intelligence as we move into a future where these elements are inherently interwoven.

While the tools that have developed over the last ten years have created unprecedented breakthroughs in our ability to connect, socialize, and share information across continents, some believe that social media and the tech leviathans who created it pose an existential threat to civilization. There are evidence-based arguments that social media platforms dehumanize their users, disrupt the social fabric, and collapse our shared understanding of reality. Documentaries like 'The Social Dilemma' reveal that the technology utilized by social media is manipulative by design, using our own psychology against us in service of its own interests.

So, what do we do with what we know? Technology is here to stay, but that doesn't mean we are helpless to its advances. We have a choice to hold ourselves and the tech companies accountable for how we use the tools at our disposal.
