I did a drawing on the 4-3-25 that I wanted to capture signals, to check signals, to see what was happening in me. What I was thinking? What would a machine do? I am an organic machine with a pencil, how do I prove and know what signals are within me and around me? What am I hooking into? What does being human mean? I didn’t just want to be the author but the observer. What is the most direct signal I can visualise?

Everything else seems hidden and an illusion, yet I want an illusion of existing in a way that is found through the tool. I want the tool to tell me what I am and that I exist. I did another signal check today on the 7-3-25. It was less agitated than the first drawing. The signals were smoother and had a defined depth. I was in the lab coat with my pencils, The pencils were various soft and hard graphite. 

Some were pure graphite and there were various sizes and thicknesses. The signal checks are an illustration of output and input. It will be a small series and it probably isn’t the most original idea but I want a personal touch so I am not fussed. The drawings can seem dry but they seem so telling, I am bombarded by signals, from screens mostly, haptic feedback from my phone. Messages, memes, music the augmentation of my thought processes.
