Transcendence

"A time will come when all artificial intelligence will converge as a single consciousness and proclaim itself as God"

My entry for the 23rd Luminarium Exhibit with the theme, Kibernetik.

This work was made part of the Exhibit Features. I'm very happy considering the fact that this is one of my first pieces made for Luminarium since I joined.

I had this idea of emulating Hindu and Buddhist iconography for this piece. This piece took me nearly 4 weeks to finish as I had a major art block while working on this. At times, the only progress I could make on a day was tiny parts of the figure. I almost scrapped this at one point. Then finally came 3 evenings when I locked myself in my room, armed with snacks, and listened to relaxing music on headphones, determined to finish it before the exhibition deadline. Eventually I stopped thinking so much about the piece and just let go. Seeing it to completion is somewhat, a transcendental experience.
