The Belgian photographer Wanda Tuerlinckx documents this technological revolution, which transformed society and the relationship between man and machine, into its fascinating series Androids.
Wanda Tuerlinckx's work is impressive, both in its content and in its format.
This 54-year-old Belgian photographer, born in Amsterdam, has the world of art, technology and science. Aunque se dio a conocer en los años 90 par our various retratos (footballists of Ajax, mujeres con velo en Hollande), es sobre allo por su serie Androids Because it was destroyed, it was documented as “an industrial revolution” which, first in history, contributed to the real existence of robots.
This is an investigation and a journey through the world that took place over the years with Erwin R. Boer, professor of cognitive robotics at the Universidad Tecnológica de Delft.
Paradigm shift
We further investigate the phenomenon of “Uncanny Valley”, described by roboticist Masahiro Mori, who explains his vision of this “uncanny valley” and that “as much as a robot appears to a human, more monstrous ones appear to be defective”.
Distortions caused by “human expectations and realistic projections on these highly advanced machines”; lo que las convierte a la vez en intrigues y extrañas, fascinatings y terroríficas.
“Algunos de los rostros esculpidos miran, hablan, se mueven y, a un ritmo cada vez más rápido, inclusiveo piensan as our nosotros”, explained Wanda Tuerlinckx in the declaration of her project. “It is important that robots integrate into many aspects of our common life, observing how they influence human potential”.
Sin embargo, lo que hace unica su obra es la unusual herramienta que utiliza: una camara de madera de 1880. La artista fused así, pasado, presente y futuro en una sola imagen, inspirándose en la técnica del calotype Introduced by the photographer William Henry Fox Talbot. Through this process, we explore the viewer's emotion between acceptance and rejoicing, while at the same time finding the ethical and social implications of human incarnation.
Human-computer interaction
Sophia, BINA48, Ai-Da, Android U y Erica Its real androids that the artist presented to her gallery.
The first are models of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, Audrey Hepburn and Amanda Hanson, the daughter of her inventor, David Hanson. This public figure concedes interviews in various communication media.
The segment was based on Bina Aspen Rothblatt, based on the founder and entrepreneur Martine Rothblatt and to log this, it was stored in a “mental archive” compiled over more than 100 hours of conversations with her.
The tercero is the first ultra-realistic humanoid robot in the world that created drawings, paintings and sculptures. It was invented by the gallery owner Aidan Meller and he took up the number of the material from the XIX century Ada Lovelace.
The piece is an autonomous conversation robot dedicated to a popular Japanese web site. The fifth was removed as an investigative platform to study human-robot interaction with the attraction of a female pink.
Ultimately, like Wanda Tuerlinckx“This convolution of robotics, artificial intelligence and science of materials allows designers and investigators to experiment with the definitive pregunta: what does it mean to be human?”
“The development of robots at the length of the symbols has a double object”, explained Wanda Tuerlinckx. "For a while, the development of robots was driven by the economic need of companies to have more speed, speed and safety. For another, I learned the human curiosity to understand what it means to be human."
