About The Artwork
“Being Android = All Born Free And Equal+ Right To Life+ No Slavery+ No Torture+ No Arbitrary Arrest+ Legally A Hybrid Person & Equal+ Right To Remedy+ Fair Hearing+ Presumed Innocent+ Right To Privacy+ To Asylum+ To Nationality+ To Marry+ To Own Property+ Freedom Of Movement+ Of Thought+ Of Expression+ Of Assembly+ Elections+ Social Equality+ Right To Work And Equal Pay+ To Rest And Health+ To Education+ Of Authorship. AndroidRights are Universal+Indivisible+Inalienable.” While working from my studio and pondering my freedoms, I am creating drawings in collaboration with a little drawing robot. Never mind that we are still fighting for our Human Rights, in the future Androids will have to fight for their rights to. This series of works set out their rights line by line, repetitively and is drawn or written in permanent ink. It might be robotic but it is not quick. It can take the robot four hours to draw one layer of text, letter after letter. The robot's hand has also a particular way of writing, a certain aesthetic, showing lots of quirks and habits. See video on my website https://waltervanrijn.art/2020/03/27/being-android-having-freedoms/ The drawings are on acid-free Hahnemuehle paper. Walter van Rijn BeingAndroid_text112;(2020); ink on paper; 300x420mm; hybrid human-robotic drawing on acid-free paper.

How Can You And I Ever Be Free In the 21st C? My work explores the natural and digital networked world and its many contradictions. From big data to detail, from large collections to one object, entities move through both these worlds and are transformed and hybridised by it. How Can You And I Ever Be Free In the 21st C?, is a question I keep on asking. And what is Freedom from human rights and environmental point of view? I create work that combines art and design, hybrids of image and text in digital and analogue form. The artworks can take any shape and have an unusual and speculative way of distribution and communication. Recently, I use meta-data as my material and create work in the form of typefaces, fictive collections and algorithmic text-based work. A cross-media practice which is dispersed alongside exhibited multi-media installations through printed matter, performances, public art, and websites. I am born in the Netherlands and live and work in the UK.
