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.
