The medium I chose for this picture was Skype. Skype, along with other video chatting services, allows friends, families and business to stay in touch even when great distances divide them. I used a picture of a family eating a sit-down meal, but I sliced the picture into four and separated the members. By doing this, I wanted to show that technology may actually be tearing relationships apart. Messages of love, friendship and other meaningful emotions are being sent out as technical information, confining such feelings to the binds of the computer. It seems now that the only way to express human sentiments is through electronics and other secondary means of communication.
