A Robot’s Daily Pastime
A Robot’s Daily Pastime is an AR interactive video installation that explores the role of artificial intelligence in everyday life with humor and absurdity. While robots are equipped with precise logic and powerful computational abilities, they often display unexpected reactions when confronted with mundane human routines. This work portrays a robot attempting to comprehend human ways of living generates whimsical and absurd behaviors in the repetition of daily routines.
Shifting from strict computational logic to humorous thinking that is almost like mankind, even producing gestures that may be meaningless yet full of playful charm, the piece exaggerates the robot’s actions through visual narrative. This re-imagination overturns the cold and rigid stereotype of technology, while also mirrors the absurdity of human behavior in an era of hyper-automation. As we relentlessly pursue intelligence and efficiency, are we ourselves becoming increasingly mechanical? And when machines begin to display humor, might they be acquiring a trace of “humanity”?
