In the spirit of authenticity, I wanted to create an imagined depiction of the internal workings of one of these things. A mass of cords, wires, outlets, switches, and other technical do-dads - who knows what any of them are for? Like the city of Chandler itself, this graphic is casual and eclectic. A complex hive buzzing with life and electricity. No two faces the same. No two paths identical. The illustration depicts the symbiotic relationship between bio-life and technology, growth and decay, humans and robots, order and chaos.
Together we endure the heat of the Arizona sun, sweep away the dust of the wind-blown desert, and admire the dignity of the swirling cactus. Our lives are entangled and interconnected in ways we may never fully comprehend. The dynamics of our community come to fruition when we go out on the town. Cold beer. Spicy tacos. Karaoke. Shared laughter with strangers. The search for someplace to plug in your phone. Finally a moonlit walk back to the car. Coffee and donuts in the morning. This city is alive and so are we.
Chandler is a community teeming with life. It is chaotic, complex and ultimately unknowable. And it is all the more beautiful for it.
Jef Caine made this design, and it’s his fun take on the inner mechanics and shenanigans.
