Original artwork description:

In the art piece "Sweet Transformer" by Diego Tirigall, we delve into a realm where the connection between humans and technology reaches a nearly mythical level. The dominant robotic figure embodies the increasing pervasiveness and interference of AI and technology in our lives.

This piece examines technology's dual nature by including the term "Azucar" (Sugar) and critiques social media and advertising's impact through the words "Like" and "ADS." The mention of "Proud Soup" on the robot's chest links to Tirigall's "Unhealthy Preserves" collection, highlighting society's fixation with social media and its detrimental effects.

Furthermore, the artwork's name hints at the connection between the well-known shape-shifting robots from the Transformers series and the groundbreaking Transformer technology by Google, which resulted in the development of ChatGPT and similar language models.

The canvas's background, adorned with multiple instances of the word "Please," conveys humanity's urgent appeal, which can be perceived as either a cry for assistance from technology or a call to stop its unyielding progress. Ultimately, "Sweet Transformer" acts as a reflective surface for us to consider the difficulties and conundrums presented by AI, technology, and social media in today's world.
