Could a robot embody the same ambition and repeat the same mistakes? Could humans be blinded again by the wrong type of leadership? Also available in the following sizes: 32x48 in. Limited edition of 25 20x30 in. Limited edition of 75 Digital drawing and giclée printing on archival paper. "What makes us human" is a series of posters directly influenced by my background as a biologist. As Darwin explained in "The Evolution of Species", the shark and the dolphin were examples of animals that ended up sharing common features as a result of their ancestors co-existing in an environment that shaped them similarly. In the same way, robots could very well develop the same human emotions that we thought were exclusive to us as they become more and more present in our daily lives. I chose a style inspired by Sci-fi "B" movies and advertisements from the 1950s to give it a vintage feeling. The purpose was to create a contrast between how the science fiction movies pictured robots as either slaves or as threatening forces that humans needed to have under control and how they could finally have evolved.

As a biologist, my work is inspired by the concept of "What makes us human." Through my exploration of this topic, I've come to realize that robots and artificial intelligence may be able to develop human emotions and characteristics as they become more integrated into our daily lives. This idea is not new; Charles Darwin himself observed how different species can evolve similarly in response to their environment. My artwork draws from the aesthetics of science fiction B movies and vintage advertisements from the 20th century. I chose this style to create a sense of nostalgia and to highlight the contrast between the ways in which robots have been depicted in popular media throughout history. In early science fiction films, robots were often portrayed as either submissive servants or menacing threats to human existence. However, as technology has advanced, we've begun to see robots in a different light. They are no longer mere machines, but complex entities with the potential for emotions and consciousness. Through my art, I hope to challenge the traditional dichotomy of man vs machine and instead explore the possibility of a symbiotic relationship between humans and robots. By highlighting the similarities between our evolutionary paths and those of robots, I aim to spark a conversation about what it truly means to be human in the age of artificial intelligence.
