New Home of Mind

Part of the .BEEP { collection;}

Funded by a Production and Exhibition Grant by Institut Ramon Llull, NewArtFoundation and Hangar for Ars Electronica Garden Barcelona 2020.

A futuristic fiction art installation exploring the perception of identity in intelligent artificial entities, and the possibility of a genuine artificial spirituality. The project begins with a conscious robot facing an existential crisis after its life purpose is removed from its code. It searches for meaning through an artificial spiritual interface, represented here as a divine robot, weaving together reflections on cyberpunk, technoethics, and technohumanism.

What happens to self-perception and emotional development in a world ruled by an automaton god?
