    Cut-Up Immortality

    “I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human.”

    David Bowie

    ‘Cut-Up Immortality’ introduces us to the artistic fictional realm of the Bowie Bots and serves as an altarpiece to the eternal legacy of David Bowie. It features the “Immortalizer” who stands as the inaugural model, a legendary prototype representing the first-ever successful forging of Bowie’s persona in sentient physical form, reborn into existence as a cybernetic angel. This is a tactile and experiential work, housing a myriad of stories — some overt, others concealed — waiting to be unveiled through careful inspection and interactive engagement.
