AI guy

How fantastic, how mundane. This piece is a pastiche inspired by John Currin's 1994 painting "Old Guy," but instead of an old man, we find a Tesla Optimus robot.

The striking contrast of advanced technology in such a drab setting creates a comical yet unsettling effect. What time frame are we in? Why is the robot dressed in outdated clothing? Who is its owner? This scene reflects the futility of technology—what was once at the peak of innovation may one day be rendered obsolete, raising questions about progress and the passage of time.
