Man and Machine is a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Mauro Wieser that explores the intricate relationship between humanity and technology, echoing D.H. Lawrence’s notion that “Man invented the machine and now the machine has invented man.” Through a fusion of traditional woodworking techniques and contemporary AI-assisted machinery, Wieser delves into the complexities of male identity, challenging the notion of men’s replaceability and the myriad societal expectations thrust upon them. His engravings and kinetic sculptures juxtapose classically depicted male figures with the tools of their expected trades alongside snippets of their inner thoughts, liberating men from the confines of the traditional masculine ideal, and portraying them as vulnerable beings grappling with evolving societal norms.
