ABOUT PILAT ART:

Agnieszka Pilat is a painter, and machines are her subjects. She arranges machinery in formal compositions, appropriating traditions ranging from religious iconography to royal portraiture to evoke the power that technology commands in human society today. She says; “Machines are humanity’s children. I am just giving them a page in a family album”.

Like religious icons and royal portrayals of noble ancestry, her paintings conceptually trace the lineage of 21st-century robotics and artificial intelligence back to the steam-powered mechanisms of the Industrial Revolution and the electrification of factories and cities. Agnieszka Pilat’s paintings reveal a historical continuum, paying tribute to the innovations of James Watt and Nicola Tesla, while also recognizing humanity’s legitimate fears of automation. These machines are preemptively posing for their place in museums of the future, provoking us to preemptively consider the trajectories they embody.

Her aim is to deploy this old-fashioned training in a contemporary way, while also referencing the legacy of 20th-century avant-garde movements such as Futurism, Precisionism, and Pop Art. To this respect, she is working to create a hybrid idiom that relates the grandeur of oil on canvas to the radicalism of machine vision. Both humans and machines may ultimately look at these pictures as representations of the past, and even value the works as collectors. She wants to serve both audiences. She also wants to evoke these potential future spectators as context for present-day viewing.

In her paintings, she treats each machine as an individual. She considers her subjects to be noble and beautiful. They are manifestations of parsimonious engineering, form following function. However, she does not look at a machine only in terms of the task for which it was made, but also considers its role as an actor on the broader technological stage. In this framing, all machines are important, whether or not they were the first of their kind or led to the next stage of progress. They are all related, and their most profound impact on society is collective. Although most of her paintings are heroic or mythical, they intentionally subvert conventional heroic narratives and myths in order to represent the way in which machines truly operate.

Currently, her focus is on some of the most advanced robots of our age. She has gotten to know these machines as an artist-in-residence at Boston Robotics. They have apprenticed under her, making self-portraits with her guidance. They have also modeled for paintings she has created, inspired by great works of the Renaissance and Modern art, and for videos, she has shot for viewing in augmented reality.

Watching the robots, she learned a gestural language that is compatible with their movements. She has emulated their ability to produce multiple copies of the same image. By replacing the traditional human subjects with robots, She seeks to show their dignity, challenging the superiority complex of some human viewers. By working in a robotic vernacular, she hopes that the paintings will appeal to machines – cultivating their appreciation of art – and that they might become our patrons.

On the other side the imperfections make robot art strangely original. The threat to human artists and their exhausted abstract gesticulations is to be found in the machines’ mistakes. Through their errors, robots promise to make art interesting again – interesting for people and perhaps one day for their fellow machines. Finally, Agnieszka Pilat’s machine portraits are a study in human nature.

Today Agnieszka Pilat’s website Pilatart.com receives The Web Award as “The Website Of The Day” with our warmest congratulations.
