Virgin Mother and Child

This interactive robotic family sculpture was featured at the Pendulum Gallery during the Sculptor’s Society of BC's 50th Anniversary exhibition in May 2024, and later displayed at Ron’s solo exhibition at The Beaumont Studios in June 2024. 

The two robots are equipped with visual sensors that trigger mechanical movements and sound effects when viewers approach. The piece serves as a commentary on the approaching AI revolution, envisioning a future where hyper intelligent robot overlords create millions of replicants that dominate the earth, reducing humans to mere lab animals.

Constructed entirely from recycled stainless-steel scrap metal—except for the LED-lit eyeballs and computer controls—the work embodies both artistic and environmental themes.
