Changemaker: Blinker (Panthera/Rouge) by Lex Mayhew

 

About this piece: With a level of sophistication that echoes its profound sentience, The Changemaker has inherited David Bowie’s desire to defy confinement. In an ingenious manifestation of this spirit, it develops it’s own technology enabling it to dynamically alter its outward appearance with a blink of the eye. This remarkable ability allows the Bot to embody the transient nature of David Bowie, embracing the philosophy that, much like a fleeting sunset or love, nothing in this world is a real reality to be held onto but rather enjoyed briefly and tentatively. As Bowie himself expressed, the desire not to be locked into one thing, but to flit like a butterfly from flower to flower.

This series of original artworks invites us to imagine the new personas David Bowie would have embraced in his immortal existence through a series of cybernetic resurrections. Renowned for transcending conventional identities through his innate ability for fluid change, David Bowie defied the confines of the mortal realm, transcending time and space. Infused with Bowie’s diverse interests, passions, and experiences, his spirit serves as the guarding force in the exploration of the ever-evolving nature of self. Simultaneously the project investigates the nature of existence and consciousness, confronting the timeless question: Are we merely intricate biological machines shaped by genetic programming and life experiences? As advanced technological systems continue to evolve, their capacity to adopt our personas and potentially attain sentience grows. This raises the tantalizing question: Can these systems truly become us, serving as vessels for our very souls? This thought-provoking endeavour invites us to contemplate the boundaries of human identity, the influence of emergent technologies, and the enigmatic nature of our existence.
