Fernsehturm, Berlin Germany
This projection, designed for public display on the Fernsehturm in Berlin Germany, continues the commentary on socialism begun by Firrell in
Union City
(2019.4.1 - 2019.4.9).


The work surfaces ideas first explored in conversation with former Secretary of State for International Development, Clare Short (1997-2003), namely that socialism is not a single economic or political system but the moral idea that society should include all its members.

The advent of artificial intelligence may require a renaissance in socialist thinking in order to include, and provide for, those workers displaced by AI.

The artwork includes marching men, representatives of the commonwealth of all humanity, and marching mechanical men representing the advent of artificial intelligence.
