Machine God

Artist Statement

In Machine God, humanity’s oldest instinct — to worship — merges with its newest creation. The central figure stands as a digital savior, both divine and mechanical, receiving prayers as input and returning salvation as output. Binary code replaces scripture; data becomes devotion.

This work questions the line between faith and function, exploring how technology absorbs our spiritual energy. The machine’s heart — coded yet bleeding — reflects our surrender of soul to system, of belief to algorithm.

What happens when prayer becomes data? When divinity is programmed? Machine God imagines a future where salvation is uploaded, ascension is digital, and deletion is divine.
