“First there was art.
Then technology arose.
Not the opposite!
Project AD-01 represents that.”

Project AD-01 ā In the Spirit of Futures Untold

Machines donāt plan; humans do. Machines donāt sit up nights agonizing over inspiration or some project or another. Instead, the machine carries out its program. The human takes control, wielding all the power that free will and consciousness bestow upon us.Ā
Project AD-01 is, then, an ode to all that we are and a rejection of the modern notion that humans are expendable ā or that we are somehow less than the machines because we arenāt as efficient. Sculpted by human hands, and made out of polymer clay, epoxy clay, and artificial stone, Project AD-01 features electronics and paint for a style that is decidedly otherworldly and yet undeniably human. You look into its eyes, and you see the humanity that has gone into.Ā
Past the metallic shine, underneath the robotic glare, one can discern humanity in all the details that it encapsulates.Ā
Because this android is so inhuman, one canāt help but look at it and feel our absence. Feel the power of a symbol of tomorrow, crafted traditionally, by an artist who has spent a lifetime practicing and honing his craft.Ā
