Human Artist: Angie Mason
Parts: Mixed media sculpture with hand-painted embellishments Made by: hi!
(Human intelligence), one-of-a-kind | Salvaged wood, vintage keyholes, drawer hardware, coiled phone cords, acrylic paint embellishments, wood findings, plastic findings, metal findings.
DIRECTIVE: Part relic, part robot, part dream-being-FolkBot No. 001 is a handcrafted relic from 2025-one where human touch and imagination breathe life into machines. Human intelligence made Ai or, simply- h.i. — imperfect flawed specimens who are created equipped with quirks and flaws of humans, making it perfectly imperfect and one of a kind. This charming character reclaims machinehood with emotion, humor, and soul. The term FolkBot fuses folk art with robotics, creating a new singularity. Each disregarded found component carries a past; together they form a brand new sentient character in the future-folklore world Mason is building. FolkBots series: a collection of character-driven creations exploring the intersection of nostalgia, technology, and emotional resonance. The work draws from folk art, childhood invention, and a deep yearning for humanity in a digitized age. Dimensions: 20Hx5.5Wx2.5D #robots #art #folkart #foundobjectart #angiemason
It's worth noting that the logo for Human Intelligence (hi!) is my handprint from when I was 5 years old a fledgling artist, just starting out, on my beautifully human flawed existence.
expect more in the future from this series! Transmission End.
