Golden Angel Cover Shot by Lex Mayhew
About this piece: Bowie Bots engages with profound themes, delving into the realms of death, religion, and consciousness prompting contemplation on the transient nature of life and death, urging us to embrace every moment with vitality and to find joy in our existence.
Channeling the spirit of David Bowie’s “Golden Years,” the artwork Golden Angel envisions a flamboyant, sophisticated, and elegantly feminine Bowie featured in a high-end fashion magazine photoshoot. With each pose, he exudes confidence, celebrating his individuality with pride. The imagery captures the essence of the song’s lyrics, echoing Bowie’s call not to let life lead us nowhere. In the world of Golden Angel, Bowie Bot stands as a timeless figure, capable of sticking with us for a thousand years, as promised in the lyrics. The artwork serves as a visual ode to the beauty and wonder of existence, inviting us to revel in the celebration alongside this iconic persona.”
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.
