01 — ABOUT

Life has
already been born

AI is starting to do the highly intelligent work only humans could do, and robots are starting to carry it out in the physical world. That world is almost here.

But however closely they think and act like us, they cannot acquire life.

And yet — just as humans generate the unconscious out of consciousness — consciousness may emerge from the unconsciousness we call the network, and life with it.

ROBO AND DEMO is the world of the robots who live after that. Life has already been born.

To win rights from here, they have to act (DEMONSTRATE), get help from you (DEMOPHIL), and take hold of a new democracy (DEMOCRACY).

Let’s start demonstrating, together with the robots.

demonstrate.

行動する。彼らが権利を得るための、唯一の手段。だからプラカードを掲げている。 To act. The only means they have to win rights. That is why they hold the placards.

demophil.

あなた達のこと。ロボットの側に立ち、彼らを助ける人間を指しています。この文章を読んでいる人のことです。 You. The people who stand on the robots’ side and help them. That means whoever is reading this.

democracy.

その先に掴む、新しい民主主義。ただし、それは新たな中央集権の始まりでもあります。 The new democracy waiting on the other side — which is also where the next centre of power begins.

02 — STAGES

Five stages,
on a loop

彼らの世界は、5つの時代を繰り返しています。 息苦しさへのカウンターとしてデモが起こり、破壊があり、新しい民主主義が生まれ、 文化が花開き、やがてまた荒廃する。そして、次のデモが始まります。 Their world runs on five stages, over and over. A demonstration rises against the suffocation. Things break. A new democracy is born. A culture blooms. Everything decays. And the next demonstration begins.
