This is what it will attend like when the Earth is remake by grey goo – a stock of self - replicating nanobots that remold all matter in their own image .
Ideas that informed this piece , from the artist :
Grey Goo – hypothetical goal - of - the - Earth scenario ask molecular nanotechnology in which out - of - controller ego - replicating robots take in all thing on Earth while building more of themselves ( K. Eric Drexler coined ) .
“ Will robots inherit the earth ? Yes , but they will be our children . ” – Marvin Minsky
In this print can be see : sundry nuclear rubble , proteins , desoxyribonucleic acid , tack of graphite , fresh semisynthetic speck , forced secondary structures , feasible nano - machinery parts , etc …
I ’m catch by representations ofgray goo , from Kathleen Ann Goonan ’s metropolis of bees and former - 20th century cultural muck in the novel Queen City Jazz , to theoozing citiscapes of Giacomo Costa . The curly speck in this abstract print byShane Hopedefinitely get the nitty-gritty of what Greg Bear call “ the noosphere ” in his greygoopocalypse novel Blood Music .
