Automaton explores the intersection of technology and the human body.
Every scene depicts surreal mechanical apparatuses and hallucinatory compositions of data and flesh that oscillate between the sensual and the disturbing. Human and mechanical forms, powered by bizarre, futuristic components, proliferate in synchronized harmony, portraying a highly technified representation of the human body in motion.
These posthuman, extended bodies, interoperating and merging with complex mechanized systems, serve as an allegory of society’s obsession with automation and augmentation.
