This Isn't Even My Final Form

http://www.jonlovesart.com/this-isn-t-even-my-final-form.html

This isn't even my final form is an internet meme deriving from popular Japanese crossover cartoon Dragonball Z. In the show, intergalactic warriors would constantly evolve forms in order to increase their fighting prowess. When their current form was inadequate, they would change/adapt to meet the new challenge. The online meme often includes images of humorously hybridized characters, people, or objects paired with the text This isn't even my final form. This Isn't Even My Final Form, 2014.

Augmented Drawings

Augmented reality is the merging of material reality with digital information. Anything from the internet that takes physical form IRL is an instance of augmented reality. The work considers a fuller, and more complex version of reality in which we, and the objects we live with exist both on and offline simultaneously.
