The pictorial translation, of the evocation of Greek mythology, of the famous scene of the judgment of Paris, which I retranslate into modern language through, the scientific and technological metaphor, of the fate of humanity, to increased beings, androids, robots, bionic men... And their confrontation, with the human race engulfed in a high-tech, protective carapace...
confrontation: on one side, an interior of human flesh, and on the other side, a high-tech carapace, that of Parish the astronaut....In a way, a superhuman being a kind of new God,quasi celestial may go into the cosmos.
on the other side three cybernetic entities representing the 3 goddesses of Antiquity (Hera, Athena and Venus)
with an interior built around a skeleton with high-tech structure of composite materials, directed by a cybernetic system with microchip, fiber optics, Positronic brain...
insuffying a semblance of life, to Androids, which do not necessarily make a difference between their states and that of a human...
To Be-H or not To Be-R.??!!! that is the Question!
