In "Robotica Vitamins", I delve deeper into the symbiotic fusion of technology and organic existence within the ever-expanding ecosystem of Ultramono. This project presents a collection of digital artworks that bridge the gap between the physical and the virtual, offering a glimpse into a world where avatars and synthetic nutrients coexist.
"Robotica Vitamins" is a continuation of my exploration into the intersections of artificial intelligence, digital fabrication, and speculative biology. The project features a series of avatars, each a personification of the hybrid entities. These avatars embody a spectrum of synthetic identities, enhanced and sustained by mockup vitamin products designed to optimize their existence in this parallel universe. The vitamins—conceptualized as both physical supplements and digital enhancements—serve as catalysts for the evolution of these entities, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be alive in a digital age.
Through this work, I aim to question and expand upon the possibilities of digital identity, exploring how technology can redefine the boundaries of self and environment. The avatars and vitamins are not merely aesthetic objects but represent deeper narratives around the future of human augmentation, the commodification of health, and the ethical considerations of creating life forms within virtual realms.
In "Robotica Vitamins", the digital and the organic are inextricably linked, inviting the viewer to contemplate a future where our reality is deeply intertwined with the virtual, and where the concept of humanity itself is continuously reshaped by the machines we create.
Robotika (Extended) is a series of visual artworks that delve into contemporary robotic art, zooming in on the intricate structures and materials that form the essence of robotics. These creations are built using fractal logic and neural patterns, where robotic parts slowly assemble into human-like forms—suspended, submerged, and emerging from a technological "soup of life."
Transhumanism promises enhancements, life extension, and the hope of a future with improved quality of life. Yet, it leaves many questions unanswered. As transhumanism focuses on the augmentation of humans, where do robots fit in? Are they destined to become replacements in fields such as labor and entertainment, or something more? This series explores these complex questions, inspired by both the philosophical and scientific discourse around them. A key influence in its creation came from my visits to scientific labs, especially those dedicated to nano-structured materials.
