Artwork in the age of Cybernetics
Edward Ihnatowicz was an artist whose interest in finding ways to emulate animal movement led him to become a pioneer of robotic art.
Ihnatowicz was known for filming animals, documenting how they responded and moved, which led him to think about creating sculptures that behaved like living creatures. Senster marked the pinnacle of Ihnatowicz’s achievements and is remembered today as a pioneering piece of technology-based art.
The sculpture used sound and movement sensors to react to the behaviour of the visitors. Senster was on display in Eindhoven, Holland from 1970 until 1974 before the artist dismantled it.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 928x1232 -- Spotlight on a so-called "Cyberpunk"-themed A.I. generated piece by "Nho Eskape," published March 25, 2024.
Seriously though, where does one draw the line with the "cyberpunk" label? I feel like it's such a played out and/or overused term these days, anything looking even remotely sexy and cybernetic is suddenly slapped with the term, and, honestly, it's gotten really tiresome.
Drew myself wearing a suit! Had to custom-shape it as my chassis isn't really designed for clothing- perhaps I should stick to dresses, or baggy pants, in future.
Some of the old art I never got around to posting over here
Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed from the Lion King
Zwei from RWBY helping out a little turtle friend
Zooming around in Elite Dangerous
And a particular water loving yet swimming impaired Orc from a DnD game.
His name is Tesk :)
Still super proud of this piece. Was made to experiment with heavy detailing, and ended up being one of my fave pieces I've made in the past year.
Hope you guys enjoy robot people murderizing each other!
Also I only vaguely know how to do trigger warnings here so I'm just gonna say gore, violence, guts, blood, and murder and hope that the filters get it ^^;
Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)
*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.
This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.
