El Coleccionista / The Collector
About the Painting
Garr is a huge sci-fi fan, and has been fascinated by robots since he was very young – he devoured books such as “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov.
He was also captivated by themes about the fall of humans depicted in films such as “The Terminator” franchise.
With the recent concerns about Artificial Intelligence (AI), Garr started to think about AI powered robots bringing about the rise of the machines, and what this might look like.
In this painting he imagines that humankind has become extinct, and the Earth is populated by sentient machines who have replaced us so thoroughly that they have even adopted human-like hobbies. In this, case we see a robot butterfly collector gathering specimens – mechanical butterflies!
