Rede de Bibliotecas de Lisboa. Festival Lisboa 5L invited me to invent and illustrate an imaginary machine, to be displayed as part of the "Desenha-me uma Máquina" exhibition at the Beato Innovation District in Lisbon. I invented the Machine of Artificial Stupidity. We were also asked to submit a small accompanying text. This was mine:
“This is not what we were promised. We dreamt of machines that freed us from monotonous tasks, leaving us the act of creation. The machines that arrived do not work for us, we will work for them, if we’re lucky. When machines become human, what’s left to us but to become machines, not the intelligent machines of today, dumb and brute machines, glued to our screens.”
