Humanoid Twins: Before the Process

“Black Robots” ...72 x 36 in. If you closely examine social engineering concepts and compare it to any client/server network model you'll see exactly how society is being programmed, controlled, and conditioned. Black Robots is an artistic campaign to stimulate us to wake up and liberate ourselves from the societal and technological chains that continue to keep us in bondage. 10001100 #blackrobots #theshawnartisgallery #socialengineering #it #contemporaryart #cat5 #computer #internet #internetprotocol #ip #art #technology #acrylic #martians #blackart #blackartnetwork #hmaac #houstonartist #atlantaartist (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uos3mBT5M/?igshid=ve1cogb297qq

“Black Robots” ... 72 x 36 inches mixed media. Black Robots is a socio-political piece that parallels social engineering with computer networking models. Social engineering is the use of centralized planning in an attempt to manage social change and regulate the future development and behavior of a society. It is also the art of gaining access to systems or data by exploiting human psychology, rather than by breaking in or using traditional hacking techniques. Both methods of social engineering have been used on a wide scale basis to destabilize societies for many years. Black Robots, the short film, was co-wrote, directed and edited by @imareelchick and debuted @houstonmaac during my solo exhibition ARTis The Imitation of Life. We’re proud to announce Black Robots will be featured in The International Houston Black Film Festival March 29th - 30th at NRG Center.

“Isotopes” ... acrylic on canvas Set of four Isotopes are atoms which share the same name and chemical properties, but have different masses. Isotopes also have the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons. Similar to people, you can think of protons and neutrons as the same kind of particle with one key difference: the protons are positively charged, while neutrons carry no electrical charge. This means protons can “feel” electric or magnetic fields, while neutrons cannot. In December of 2016 I lost my proton, my father Clarence Artis. I suddenly felt as if I was the neutron, devoid of electrical charge after witnessing the molecular structure of my family destabilize. Isotopes is my creative interpretation of the gradual reduction of man into subatomic particles. Shout out to my fellow artist @nati_dmod for coming out and supporting!
