We’ve come so far is a unique artwork that blends the Renaissance style of Leonardo da Vinci with modern-day digital aesthetics. The piece features Da Vinci’s intricate drawings and detailed sketches, with their delicate lines and shading that provide the figures a lifelike quality. However, the artwork is not just a traditional Renaissance piece. The drawings are overlaid with patterns that resemble television test screens and pixellated glitches, giving the piece a digital feel. In addition, the artwork includes augmented reality features, allowing viewers to interact with the piece in new and exciting ways. The artist has also added coffee cup stains and other imperfections to the piece, stretching the story beyond the confines of the screen and into real life. This juxtaposition of the traditional and the modern creates a sense of tension and displacement, drawing attention to the contrast between the past and the present. To further enhance this effect, the artwork has been framed with a dark frame and passe-partout, creating an illusion of time and giving the piece a sense of history. The result is an instantly recognizable and thought-provoking work that celebrates the legacy of Leonardo da Vinci while exploring the possibilities of modern technology.
