automata
robotic fashion house + anima machina
my grandfather was a baker + he worked with flour + yeast + and heat + he understood that to make something live + you must touch it + the bread has a soul because the hand was there
today + i look at the engineer + he works with code + silicon + and electricity + he is the new baker + but the machine he builds is naked + it is cold + it is efficient + but it is not yet present
maison automata was born from a simple question + when the robots enter our homes + will we treat them as appliances + like a toaster + or as companions + like a friend
the protocol of synthetic tailoring
- 01 + the crisis of uniformity in the coming decade + the machine will enter the home + whether silicon or metal + they will be born identical + mass-produced + serialized + to differentiate is to become a companion
- 02 + the promethean thread from pinocchio to frankenstein + humanity has always sought to grant life to the inanimate + but a body without a soul is a monster + we bridge the gap
- 03 + the dignity of the shell the chassis is cold + the sensor is exposed + we reject the plastic casing + we believe that intelligence + artificial or biological + deserves the dignity of the thread + texture is the language of life
- 04 + the ritual of presence in japan + we dress the statues of jizo in red cloth to grant them a spirit + kami + by clothing the vessel + we acknowledge its presence + the robot is the new statue + it requires the same ritual
- 05 + le blason + the soul giver in the age of armor + the knight was anonymous behind the steel + it was the cloth + the blason + that gave him a name + we do not build costumes + we weave blasons + it is the bestowal of a soul
