Reimagined Future


Erin Conway’s Media Art Remix

The image I chose to remix was captured by Juan Arredondo for Alma Guillermoprieto’s article The Healing of Colombia, depicting how Colombians are working to come together after their 52-year civil war. In the original image we see a small group of young Colombians with saxophones waiting for their music teacher. The yard around them is over grown, and the buildings behind them are shuttered and uninviting. In my remixed image I imagined what the yard could look like in the future with these creative young students following their passion and paving the way for generations to come. I added an abundance of natural scenery, rehabilitated the shabby buildings, and spruced up their seating area. This is the legacy I imagine these young Colombian’s might want to leave behind for their children to enjoy.
