Creation of Adam in the 21st Century

Description

Hey there,

this time my project has a sociocritical background.

As you can see my picture bases upon the fresco 'Creation of Adam' by Michelangelo.
First of all I have to say my intention is NOT to say you have to believe more in God or God is a robot. The picture has no religious intentions!

I just want to say this:

I think that our society is more and more focused on career, success, appreciation and abundance. Objects are symbolizing our affluence and people are not satisfied if they have not for example the latest iphone or ipad.
They are addicted of having the latest and the best and climbing higher on the ladder of esteem.
The people in the 16th century were very religious and anxious to please God, which is also an addiction. That is the reason why I replaced God's hand with the hand of a robot which symbolizes the todays addictions like internet, computer, cars and actual generally every machine.

I think the person in its character and as individual has taken a back seat and humanity trails away in a world of egoism.
This picture express just my opinion that there is more than to be the best, the most affluent, the most famous or what else.

I would like to hear your opinions ;)

And sorry for my bad english :(

Hey fishsnack.

I'm part of a high school robotics club and we would really love to use this image for this year's competition. The competition is one of fire fighting, in which we build a robot to extenguish fake flames, in the form of red solo cups, with fake water, in the form of golf balls. Our idea was to brand ourselves as 'Divine Robotics' (we live in a town called Devine) with a slogan reading: If there was a fire in heaven, God would hire us to extinguish it. We won't be selling your image for profit and it will only be used for promotional purposes. We would be willing to pay a small sum if you so wish.

Many thanks - Devine High Robotics
