In our first photography class, we chose a lot of different stories and related pictures. Let me Have a very interested in the story is ” Robot ‘s Have Existential Crises, TOO.” From this we can see that it is a very modern in the title. The theme of the human and the future of technology. Why is robotics a future technology? What kind of different life experiences will they bring to us? The theme of this article is the existential crisis of robots, so why do robots have an existential crisis? Is it due to the aging of the machine or the different requirements of the hardware?

Photos use most of close ups and “people”. Many people are linked to robots. There are also machines standing and different positions. The sequence of photos is very interesting. The first is two human beings the machine of artificial intelligence.One man looks at the other and the other eye does not have any spirit. This is a very interesting beginning, so I have the desire to know more information. The second is a human robot hanging from a supporting machine. But very unlike humans because there are a lot of machine parts to see. The third and fourth brings a direct visual impact, a human face but without the back of the head. The back of the head was replaced by red, black and yellow lines. But there are preliminary figures. The fifth one goes back to the robot we’re familiar with. The whole robot is huge and mechanized, and there is a sense of urgency. The next is the combination of different future machines and humans and machines. Then there is the “anatomy” of each step of the robot, and then there is a completely shocked figure, which gives a great visual impact. Finally, the maintenance and recovery of human wage robot. If the photo does not follow this step, it will create a different viewing experience and a false understanding of the story.

The photographer’s character is consistent with the use of symmetry. The main machine and its internal structure are set off by a very dim light. Such behavior helps the photographer tell a story by light is always on the main object. Because robots are very geometric and mechanized, many places need to be symmetrical. Which will help the overall balance of the machine.

One of my favorite photos is a Vocal Robot at Osaka University in Japan. First, why do I like it? Because the first thing I didn’t see was that he was a vocal robot, until I saw the introduction. And It doesn’t look like a vocal robot. The overall shape of the machine is very similar to the camera. The bottom of the whole is a pair of very symmetrical machine boxes connected by two black cylinders. Then there is the subject of the machine and a very interesting human mouth. The light that the photographer Used is the light that shoots from both sides to the main body of the machine. The use of light makes the whole machine look very technical and mysterious. But the background is a very gray laboratory window. This leads to a sense of modern and future travel.

    Symmetry makes sense as a way to tell this story. It emphasizes the order of man made objects. the vocal robot photo is amazing in that there is so little that is human like in this machine. Only the mouth.
