Permalink Captcha 22 #11 “You’re only human” CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. I thought I’d make This my second quote in the series because its what we say to each other to acknowledge the fact that all humanity is flawed and prone to mistakes. Again, ironically, it is this ability to see past the mistakes that makes us human too. www.JeffreyDeaneHall.com (Taken with Instagram)
Permalink Captcha 22 # 10 This wraps up the first of the “captcha 22” series. I like how the images are developing, but the lack of feedback suggests folks like more powerful words. I’ll see what I can do. The idea of this series centers around the fact that there is so much communication today, yet so little understanding. Whether the political rhetoric instead of discourse, the meaningless minutiae of social media posts, or the disconnect from real friends and family in our lives in favor of virtual connections. I thought the captcha was a great vehicle for this idea. It represents some of the frustration about how we prove our existence in this digital age, as well as the breakdown in understanding. In my new project, I will take twenty-two words or phrases and intentionally make them hard to read or understand. I will likely do multiple versions of each to explore visual variations. It is my hope that by exploring this idea, we might begin to question the role of technology in our relationships and the quality of our interactions.
