Passage of Time The Evolution of Art and Technology Through the Ages Abstract "Passage of Time" explores the intersection of art and technological evolution through a series of portraits that transition from youth to old age, arranged sequentially from left to right. As each head turns, the face ages accordingly. These portraits illustrate the evolution of art styles throughout history, each representing a significant art movement and cultural context, pairing visual art with concurrent technological milestones. The portrait series is presented on a background panel with a drawing depicting the evolution of technology from ancient times to the present, which occurred concurrently with the evolution of art. These portraits play out the history of art and symbolize global humanity. They feature diverse skin tones and ethnic features representing various races and ethnicities. The predominant art movement, historical context, and technological advancements of each era influenced the ethnicity selection for each period. From prehistoric art to AI-driven imagery, the work addresses themes of cultural identity, historical events, and technological advancements. This arrangement symbolizes the continuity of human experience across generations. The project reflects on how art and technology evolve hand-in-hand, celebrating humanity’s enduring drive for innovation and creative storytelling across time.
