This was an assignment for class: build a structure made out of paper, cardboard, and or string and inspired by contemporary rap song. I choose 3030 from the artist / album Deltron 3030.

It's a rap opera set in the distopian future of 3030 where robots and "technology" take over man. I also have a Philosophy of Technology class so i kinda went w/ the theme that God created Man -> Man kills God -> Man created Machine -> Machine kills Man. I also looked at the art deco architecture from the movie Metropolis. So i have the planes acting as the seemingly both fragile and secure relationship between Man and Machine as well as abstracted sides of buildings. I also abstracted the rounded tops of the art deco buildings as a rolled up piece of construction paper as they fall crashing to the ground. There is a base in the middle on which society both sits on the remains of the failed interactions as well as symbolizing the constant falling.

I analyzed this mostly after i did it so that I could let my right side of my brain just create, but i think it's amazing. It's blue (the horizontal pieces on half of the base) and white (all the tilted pieces and the rounded bottom) and the rolled up construction paper is a warm-tone grey.

Took about 2 hrs of researching and thinking of ideas and 2 hrs to make it.
