Robot Monk - Zhang, Qing 张青

“Will a robot ever truly understand the depth of human emotion? This question lies at the heart of my exploration. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, the boundaries between human consciousness and machine cognition become increasingly blurred. Imagine a robot monk engaged in silent meditation within a curved, nautilus-shaped hall. The architecture, inspired by natural forms, symbolizes the inward journey of self-discovery and the spiral of consciousness. This juxtaposition of synthetic presence in a sacred, organic space challenges our assumptions: Can a machine grasp the ineffable? Can it sense the stillness of being?”

“机器人是否能真正理解人类情感的深度？这个问题正是我创作探索的核心。随着人工智能的不断进化，人类意识与机器认知之间的界限日益模糊。想象一个机器人僧侣，在一座曲线蜗牛壳状的殿堂中静坐冥想。建筑灵感源自自然形态，象征着向内的自我探索旅程与意识的螺旋延展。将人工造物置于如此神圣而有机的空间中，这一对比发出挑战：机器能否理解那些难以言喻的存在？它能否感知那份‘存在的静默’？”
