Filled with multiple perspectives on one subject, these large works are visual essays on the social impact of technology in our lives. 240 x 280 cm.

For example,‘Flip that coin’ revolves around thoughts on facts becoming fiction, and the effects this has on human behaviour. The harshness of online opinions and polarisation stemming from it, moved Rappard to draw this work in black and white, as a plea to be patient, step into the other’s shoes, borrow the other’s perspective.  In ‘Step into the Spotlight’, Rappard visualizes thoughts on the alienation people may experience upon entering the online realm: how they step onto a stage, as it were, being looked at, and judged by an excessive number of gazers, and therefore assuming a role, choosing a mask.  ‘Body by Proxy’ associates around the body: digitalized and physical, fragmented and whole, owned by the self, and/or by others. 

‘Hyperspace’ and ‘White Light, Broad Horizon’ thematically revolve around hopeful expectations of technology, and the fact that people can attribute technology almost religious or transcendental properties. They refer to the promise of a programmable paradise where artificial intelligence can give us eternal life, happiness and beauty. Yet, emphatically being made by hand, each work kindly poses the question whether this expectation is justified.
