This piece speaks to the potential of artificial intelligence and the imminent possibility of technology becoming self-sufficient and self-perpetuating. In a reference to the George Stubbs painting 'Horse Attacked by a Lion' (1769), Piccinini represents a Vespa-type scooter and a motorcycle as sentient beings — a wild deer and a lion — engaged in a death-struggle. In so doing, Piccinini asks us to envision the possibility of machines having lifecycles… leading to the both unnerving, and — given modern advances — quite conceivable, possibility of a world in which technology, like nature, is not within our control.
