In this video, I imagine a near future in which robots have taken control of every aspect of human life, managing everything from the most mundane tasks to the most complex ones. What remains to humans is an unexpected excess of leisure time. The work reflects on the paradox of monotony within a world that appears perfectly efficient, filtered through the visual language of vintage cinema.
 

The video combines different animation techniques and aesthetic registers, from traditional 3D to artificial intelligence, while embracing the crackling nostalgia of film grain and the stark beauty of black-and-white imagery reminiscent of early cinema. This vintage visual language introduces a subtle tension between past and future, nostalgia and control. As the sequence unfolds, the grainy surface occasionally opens into 3D sketch-like forms, offering a glimpse into the inner structure and hidden mechanics of these robotic beings.
