Exploring the dystopian future we are destined for by taking something from the present to near future and replacing something that is timeless, like the relationship between man and dog. By using a divisive symbol such as the Boston Dynamics Spot and placing it in everyday situations the viewer can ask new questions about how they see the future of technology in our lives. Some of us want to embrace the tech and look forward to a bright future where we use the tools we develop, while others can’t help but feel uneasy as our lives are consumed and controlled by our advancements.
In ‘Fowl Play’ I wanted to use a found traditional hunting scene painting from the 18th and 19th century, and repaint it from the ground up and replace it with our AI robot dog, something absurd and something that’s even more relevant as I also sometimes use AI to aid in my art.
