I created the biblically accurate angel (cherubim) from week 4 - truth is a bias

it was a struggle to make it move, since the motor that came with the arduino couldn’t handle the strain.

I reformatted the graphic novel “The Magpie’s Plight” and bound it as a booklet. Tena brought me a very beautiful library lamp to light up the booklet. For this piece I did not write an artwork description, as it was already somewhat explained on the back.

The exhibition was quite successful. At some point I had to change the battery, because it ran out, but I’m very happy that the motor didn’t overheat. A lot of visitors interpreted the artwork as an insect, most often they mentioned Praying Mantis, which is also a funny association around the topic of AI. Some also said it reminded them of an insected being pinned to a surface and slowly dying. When I explained my concept many were mindblown, but either way it was a powerful piece. Towards the end of the evening, it didn’t move that much anymore, because it needed to be greased. I should’ve brought some bike grease or something.

I am very happy with how the piece turned out, eventhough it did not manifest fully in the way I wanted it to, but it definetly is true to my first vision.
