Concept & Approach

In a remote industrial hall stands a lonely industrial robot. As a remnant from a time when machines took work away from humans, it continues to perform the assembly movements it was programmed for – even though there is no longer any work for it to do meaningfully.

From an antagonistic moment, human and machine begin to communicate through movement and dance. Their encounter becomes a magical moment of convergence, exploring themes of automation, human-machine interaction, and the future of work.
