About The WorkShop

  “PLA – Pure Life Assembly Workshop” is an integral component of the artist’s doctoral project “BOTI”. In “BOTI”, the artist focuses on technical intricacies in contemporary digital imagery, seeking to unravel the relationship between technical images and objects, and to think about the digital and virtualised mixed media space within this framework. In this workshop, the artist expands upon the project’s framework and content, creating an online participatory space on X Virtual’s platform. Guiding the participants on an introspective journey, the artist prompts an examination of the dichotomous hierarchy between robots and humans. Through the medium of visual sequences created with CGI, profound questions emerge regarding the creation and existence of robots, the intertwined relationship between robots and human appearance, as well as the notion of robot mortality.
