Re-Mix Assignment –
“Models Vending Machine” – 2013 by May Chau.
After reading Haraway’s manifesto, I decided to take the idea of being a goddess instead of a cyborg. I thought about the culture that we live in today, and juxtaposed imagery of models, ready-made “miracle” foods, and a computerized -generated woman from bits and bytes. I wanted to express how women can get caught up with the notion of “instant” beauty. I decided to use the bits and bytes to show how the cyborg has reprogrammed herself to represent the ideal figure.
I took four images to make this remix. I wanted to show the idea of a vending machine that was dispensing beauty. I thought the text on the instant health foods were appropriate in reflecting this notion of this quick transformation for a mere few dollars. The cyborg is looking at herself in transformation when she consumes these healthy, miracle foods. I chose to use the image of the vending machine to demonstrate the idea of not having to make a large ordeal in preparing healthy foods when all is needed is a bucket of change. It's that easy.
