SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Agnieszka Pilat, dubbed "Silicon Valley's favorite artist" this year by New York Magazine, returns to her Bay Area roots with a new collection of works exhibited at the San Francisco gallery, Modernism. ROBOTa opens November 3rd and features paintings completed by the acclaimed artist and an ensemble cast of her robot co-creators, including Boston Dynamics' SPOT and Agility Robotics' DIGIT.

"Like the craftsmen in the great art guilds of the Renaissance, my robot apprentices work directly under my control," says Agnieszka. "Meet SPOT: the famous, Boston Dynamics quadruple canine robot. And DIGIT: Agility Robotics' bi-pedal robot gracefully designed to work side-by-side with the human workforce."

ROBOTa takes visitors to the final frontier of man and machine, wherein human beings impart their creations with one last gift: Creativity. This stunning show features paintings completed by Agnieszka, DIGIT, and SPOT, raising questions about history, consciousness, and the growing power of artificial intelligence.

"I work for the machine," echoes Agnieszka.
