More about the human-robot contact on the runway
At the Giuseppe Di Morabito show, Yasmin was seen wearing an asymmetrical metallic top with trousers, standing in front of the tall grey humanoid robot Ameca. From their coordinated gestures, it seems the robot was trying to mimic the model’s gesture.
A very interesting thing to note is that the curious extending of fingers of the model and robot towards each other draws a fascinating parallel with Michelangelo’s Fresco painting ‘The Creation of Adam’ which is located in the Sistine Chapel.
This is the painting, which has the famous almost touching fingers of God and Adam. This close proximity of the extended index finger, particularly is called ‘The Spark of Life.’ Here’s the fresco painting located on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel:
Similarly, the almost-touching fingers of the model and robot also resemble a bridge between the organic and the mechanical, an integration that suggests a new way of life where technology and humanity coexist harmoniously. This also reflects Giuseppe Di Morabito’s collection which incorporates futuristic materials in their design.
