The internet as an information technology with all its sophistication and rapid developments has changed and birthed new habits and characteristics within human being in the span less than half a century. These rapid and fast changes and automation life style seems jarring to the older generation, it has shown in the younger generation that their lack in motor, physical, social, and other related skills are different compared to their predecessor, they are living and breathing with the internet, even down to the simplest chore the internet seems to had a hand in it. From the perspective of someone who’s born in the age on internet, hearing about how things used to be by the comparisons made by the older generation, life back then sounds so ancient and so different. Thus, departing from this idea, a concept of a visualization of past live leading up to the conception of internet reimagined by the perspective and post-internet state of mine, then delivered with an alternative printmaking technique, cyanotype. Titled “Blue’s Clues” this final project consisted of twenty-two modules which were divided into three parts in accordance of traditional narrative style. The visual drawn inspirations from ancient civilizations’ artifacts with its style and reading method. This project aimed to address and urge the audiences to stop and take a step back from the current internet lifestyle we’re living and to remember not to lose our human touch.
