Philosopher

80.0 x 100.0 cm

A cyborg or philosopher is a representation of a thinking being, his head flows into more obscure layers, these are the thoughts that the philosopher analyzes. One of the thoughts is focused on the topic of transhumanism, in which freedom of thought and action will be just an illusion. People will eventually become slaves who carry out orders, thinking it is their will. This philosopher is presented as a combination of man and robot. This can be seen in two ways, one is that his mechanical arm is just one part of the pictorial representation of his thoughts, the other is that he is already a half-human half-robot thinking about the pros and cons of superman ideas. According to the idea of transhumanism, a mechanical man would have many advantages, he would become stronger, more powerful, more resistant. On the one hand, in terms of physical handicaps, mechanical elements are an excellent solution, but if a person is acted upon in such a way as to affect his mentality, thoughts and emotions, then transhumanism is the downfall of man and his destruction. Behind the story of a being without weakness hides the desire to destroy spirituality and reduce everything to one mechanical system in which everyone would be networked and connected. Beings that do not have a self - their Self, because that Self becomes collective.
