Al-Rashid's work explores the emergent properties of hypothetical systems, where the echoes of ancient folklore intertwine with the envisioned mechanics of future robotics. These investigations delve into the potential unintended consequences of near-future technological and cultural shifts, challenging preconceptions about the seemingly predictable trajectory of progress. By employing the framework of complexity science, each piece functions as a simulated environment, demonstrating how subtle initial conditions can cascade into vastly divergent outcomes. The intention is not to predict the future, but to meticulously dissect the underlying patterns and potential domino effects of combining technology and culture. Al-Rashid interrogates the inherent uncertainties embedded within complex systems, questioning the very nature of control and inevitability. Through detailed narrative scenarios, these artistic explorations strive to illuminate the fragile balance between human intention and the often-unforeseen repercussions of our creations. The goal is is to foster a critical awareness of how seemingly disparate influences—myth, code, places and tradition—can coalesce to create unforeseen futures. The artist is questioning human aspirations. Al-Rashid’s work invites the viewer to reconsider their assumptions about the future, prompting a deeper engagement with the myriad possibilities that might emerge from the intricate interplay of past, present, and potential futures. It seeks to destabilize the notion of a singular, predetermined future, suggesting instead a multiplicity of paths shaped by both design and chance.
