My audio piece is meant to tell a story through sounds. The theme of my piece is a battle between man and machine. I am fascinated by the technology we have now a days. I figure it's only a matter of time before we have robots used in our daily lives. In my piece it walks you through the rise of the machine and the machines taking over.
My concept I chose for my project was immigrant people viewed as criminals. When I first decided i wanted to do this I thought of several ways i could make it cool and exciting and also relevant to me and my audience, so I decided to recreate a movie poster of the movie Scarface. The reason I chose Scarface is because he was a criminal and because he too was pursuing the "American Dream". I felt like the two subjects were similar and I could make it work. In the poster I chose a Mexican boy in my artwork because I know several examples of a boy or girl being born in another country, then moving here(USA) when they're young and are arrested and locked up for petty crimes. I chose the picture because for one I wanted it to be obvious that he was Mexican and I think the idea of a little boy in a mariachi outfit is funny. My headline is future because I feel that we are ruining some peoples futures because of these laws, that's why the future text is fading. I do not think this is right so I wanted to make a joke about it, like this little boy is being treated like a criminal, like scarface is. Like you could have this person being thrown in jail for speeding and he could be in there with people who actually committed real crimes. This is an issue that bothers me and my artwork expresses my thoughts about the subject.
