Alan Rath comments on the ways in which machinery intertwines with contemporary life by infusing the mechanical aspects of his work with an eerie, yet humorous, humanity. He has said that “somehow at a certain age the brain hardens and new changes seem alien. But machinery is not unnatural. It's a reflection of the people who make it.” Pulsating plastic orbs, robots that play with feathers, and faces made from LCDs toy with our definitions of human experience and artificial intelligence.
