The work combines Noah’s Ark as a biblical symbol of saving species with the motif of The Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault.
It is a play of opposites, uniting rescue and catastrophe within a single image.
The depicted robot is Boston Dynamics’ “Spot,” which also points to the idea of singularity — the moment when robots may be able to build other robots without human assistance.
This raises a central question: how many robots are needed to create just one more?
The historical reference to The Raft of the Medusa deepens the tension between survival, collapse, and the fragile boundary between human control and technological autonomy.
