About the Item
In his latest series, A.I. Apocalypse: Seductive Takeover, Nelson addresses anxieties about the emergence of artificial intelligence with his signature whimsy. He presents an optimistic view of a future where scraped (A.I.-generated) screenplays can’t compete with the genuine human touch. Nelson replaces the Hollywood trope of the sentient A.I. being that takes over the planet and enslaves humanity with a sexy, playful character he calls the Killer A.I. Robot. The robot is a voluptuous female dressed in bright pink, who looks more astronaut than alien, and seems nonthreatening despite her formidable name. She is inspired by prehistoric Venus figurines carved from mammoth ivory in a very Nelsonesque mashup of ancient art and a coming apocalypse.
Killer A. I. Robot is a time traveler who uses conventional and somewhat comical means of transport to visit the New York City of centuries past, which Nelson depicts in black and white. She roller skates at the 1964 World’s Fair in Queens, rides her Vespa across the Brooklyn Bridge in its debut year of 1883, and scooters past the original Trans-Lux Theatre on Madison Avenue which opened in 1931 as a destination for watching news reels.
