Robot Meets Genie is the conceptual evolution of sculptural art works created by Matt Carney (1966-2011).
Matt was exploring ideas of sentience and consciousness in his work long before the urgent conversations we are having now.
Invasive tech has permeated every part of our existence.
We have become both the product and the consumer.
Tech products built on grand scale intellectual theft without consent.
Human activities in the economy now described as a 'labor tax'.
The intention is to exclude humans from their own economies to serve capitalism before society.
15 years ago, this dystopia was an outcome too seemingly farfetched outside the realms of science fiction.
The artists who tap into the projections of human culture are not exploring fantasy.
They are acutely aware of the potentialities that exist long before they are realised.
Truth seekers. Truth speakers.
Matt's work sold far and wide within weeks of completion during his lifetime.
Robot Meets Genie continues to share his vision, his talent and thoughts in a way that is accessible to all.
Matt's artworks, rendered on high quality t-shirts and caps, reinterpreted to be loved again. Enjoyed beyond the private collections that they exist in.
A shot over the bow to our big tech feudal overlords that it is humanity that must be mapped. Not data. If you want to find out more about Matt you can here
