Bot Apocalypse (2026)

This work explores the intersection of automated conflict, systemic economic disruption, and personal memory. Utilizing a process rooted in pareidolia, initial, intuitive marks are pushed to structural clarity, capturing a physically compromised bot relying on its weapon as a crutch alongside discarded industrial debris. The figure's horizontal red visor subverts the localized sensor bar of KITT from Knight Rider, serving as a grounded sensor that networks with the geometric red sun—a terminal prompt elevated to an all-seeing, omnipresent node.

This hyper-connected yet broken unit serves as an allegory for a critical blind spot in modern technology: how artificial intelligence companies optimize intelligence and production while disrupting the foundational consumer economic model, leaving the physical infrastructure to decay on the ground.
