KISTMAMATA provides a reflective view of our modern relationship with technology. The figures in the artwork represent how technology has become intertwined with human life without overly praising or condemning it. Instead, the work shows our reliance on technology as an essential part of our existence. The cryptic text in the artwork symbolizes the substantial impact of artificial intelligence on language and communication. It reflects the intricate digital landscape of our era, where AI functions in a mysterious and complex manner, making its inner workings challenging to understand. This enigmatic language blends familiar and unfamiliar elements, emphasizing the interplay between digital randomness and structured data, which is a fundamental aspect of artificial intelligence.
