Extraordinary Robotic Sculptures by Server Demirtaş

The mechanical sculptures of Server Demirtas move and shift with lifelike purposes. While some of his creations expose their interworkings, others are vague in their inner processes.

A master of creativity and construction, Turkish artist Server Demirtaş brings life to his artistic machines with intricate engineering. Desiring Machines intrigue with smooth, humanlike movements that maintain stark contrast to the robotic appearance of each creation. Desiring-Machines offer a refreshing perspective on kinetic sculpture with a visual experience blending art and engineering. Each Machine performs a unique and choreographed series of movements and gestures mimicking life and exploring the human condition.

The author’s idea is to portray the relationship between man and machine, through the contrast between humanlike movements and a robotic appearance.
