Cute little Android doll at JB HiFi at Westlakes Shopping Centre, where I was window shopping.
My son wanted to show me a variety of smartphone and tablets. I also saw an awesome 75" Samsung LCD TV that I fiercely lusted after, but I don't want it enough to pay $10K. If it wasn't for their products, I'd avoid this place ... loud music doof-doofing away, visual clutter everywhere, bright glittering/pulsating lights, crowds ... yeech. But the prices are cheap.
An android stands motionless in a research chamber where the natural and artificial worlds collide beneath the waves. In her domain of circuits and glass, she has placed elements from the human world – fruits symbolising both the fragility and transience of life. Her gaze holds an unspoken yearning, a quest to comprehend the mortal, the ephemeral, something she herself may never truly experience. Outside, the creatures of the sea swim, oblivious to her studies, while an old painting behind her reflects humanity’s own contemplation of mortality. The scene mirrors the android’s inner struggle – a longing to understand what it means to be part of the natural, mortal life she observes but can never entirely belong to.
I glass and wire, she stands alone,
A mind of circuits, yet seeds are sown.
She reaches for what she cannot feel,
A life beyond, elusive, real.
Through painted flesh, through fruit so bright,
She tastes in shadow, death and light.
A soul of code, a heart unbound,
Yet ever seeks what can't be found.
