I would spend hours on Nude Robot‘s Instagram profile, although not everyone feels the same way. When I showed his video works in the editorial office the reactions were decidedly mixed. «They scare me» the social media manager told me, my fellow editor was disgusted but for a good ten minutes she couldn’t stop scrolling through her feed. Indeed, Sam Shea‘s works retain that feeling somewhere between disgust and attraction, which we have talked about before and which seems to work a lot in the field of art. The most incredible thing is that these videos, contrary to what one might think, are not made with artificial intelligence. Indeed, after seeing the creative process in one of @nuderobot‘s featured reels, it might even be an insult to the artist, who takes days of work to conceive absurd realities and creatures. Precise and careful edits are applied to original videos shot by Sam Shea through the use of 3D animation and motion graphics programmes. The result is a hybridisation of reality and – distorted – fantasy, one might say. Monstrous human figures and equally strange animals. Go to his profile to discover them all.
