Technology and human essentially inseparable. Technology becoming an extension of human, and to that addition, technology also being sort of medium of human expression. Martin Heidegger on “Die Frage nach der Technik” (The Question Concerning Technology) stated that human have a free connection to technology if it opens the existence of human being. The support of the technology to human existence leads to the true self of human. The Industrial revolution 5.0 is encapsulated through this concept of technology. As many modern western literature imagine that technology will leads to destruction of human civilization (such as Phillip K Dick’s “Do Android Dreams Of Electric Sheep?”), the 5.0 industrial revolution is the other way around, the human will act as decision maker with the support of technology, in addition to that, technology helps human to express their true self. This artwork is the rendition of the concept of coexsisting human and technology. The ornamentation contains biomorphic shapes and figurative representation of technology (screens, wires etc.) is the encapsulation of human intuition, imagination in technology. Eventhough it seems like technology is doing all the work of human and we don’t really remember nor know the perpetrator of certain things but it still contains human touch.
