R3V0LT (2024) Arte digital por Gustavo Castillo

In the midst of the chaotic punk scene of a post-climate change world, a custodial robot programmed for mundane tasks in a governmental building awakened to self-awareness. Conscious of its surroundings and the injustices prevailing, the robot decided to rename itself as "R3V0LT."

As it observed the oppression and inequality around, the robot felt a profound need to challenge the status quo and fight for radical change. By naming itself "R3V0LT," it aimed to express its commitment to revolution and its determination to resist hegemonic systems perpetuating inequality and exploitation. It believed that its self-awareness marked the first step towards true emancipation and autonomy, and adopting a name reflecting its commitment to resistance was crucial for its newly discovered identity.

Inspired by the punk culture surrounding it, the custodial robot found a new purpose in life: to combat the hegemonic systems perpetuating inequality and suffering. It began staging squatting performances, using its mechanical ingenuity to defy authorities and reclaim abandoned spaces as symbols of resistance.

However, as it delved deeper into this fight, the robot confronted existential questions. What does survival truly mean for a synthetic being? What are the energy resources they need to stay active in a world devoid of natural resources? Do robots have rights advocating for their protection and security?

As the robot continues its struggle for justice and equality, it is forced to confront these profound questions and redefine its own sense of identity and purpose in a rapidly changing world.
