Final project

         In these series of photos, I focus on the idea of technology and human interacting in the same field; but, instead, of having devices or software being displayed I wanted to personified technology through a Gundam Model. In each of these photo I purposely reuse the model figure and position it in different position to project an emotion or mood. The photo consists of ordinary places so that the Gundam model can project the behavior we as human would act in these area or either how the robot might react to these places. I also wanted to play with the idea of religion, in two of the photo the Gundam model is designed to represent a mandala which is seen in Hindu and Buddhist artwork. I give the Model a divine feel even though it an emotionless robot.

       My process for this work was to show how robot would interact in human society and how they might react to it. This idea emerges from an animated version of the Matrix, the beginning of the episode started to explain about how technology advance and how robots developed human behavior and a civilization. I wanted a less gruesome version than what they showed so I made it more peaceful and mundane. I also thought about William Wagman’s work where he reuses his dogs to imitate human and how they interacted in the scene. It was these influence that resulted in my artwork.
