In ‘The Little Visitors’, Shazmie presents a playful yet thought-provoking glimpse into a future where artificial intelligence and robotics seamlessly take over domestic routines. What once seemed surreal is now a near reality, and Shazmie captures this shift with a vibrant pop-art approach, infused with humour, irony, and curiosity.
The work invites viewers to reflect on the evolving role of technology in everyday life. Are these robotic helpers a welcomed convenience or a subtle surrender of choice? With its cheerful aesthetic and open-ended tone, the piece poses a quiet but urgent question: in a world rapidly shaped by automation, do we embrace it by necessity, or are we simply left with no alternative?
