Binary Blues is an artwork by Francesca Fini, part of the Paradise Lost collection. It delves into the near future, a realm where robots assume authority over every facet of human life. From the mundane to the complex, they control it all, leading humans to have an unexpected surplus of leisure time. Through this artwork, Francesca Fini beckons viewers to ponder the fascinating paradox of monotony in a world that seems otherwise perfect, all depicted through the nostalgic lens of vintage cinema.
The artwork masterfully integrates diverse animation techniques, from conventional 3D to avant-garde Artificial Intelligence. With its nostalgic crackling film grain, it transitions into a black-and-white vista, reminiscent of the magic of early cinema. This blend of vintage visuals not only adds a layer of nostalgia but also enhances the allure of its futuristic theme. As the scenes gradually unfold, the grainy texture occasionally gives way to detailed 3D sketches, offering a glimpse into the intricate inner mechanisms and workings of the robotic protagonists.
