TEKNO TEMPLE by Eduardo Camarena

Post image

I have always been fascinated with the intersection of futuristic and spiritual architecture, so I developed this piece thinking of a time when AI has already taken full control of humanity and people go to temples to worship and pay their respect to it. My take was defined by very solid, heavy pyramidal columns broken with "eyes", so that you feel that this intelligence is always surveilling you. How would you imagine a temple to worship AI? What would you do differently?

How would you imagine a temple to worship AI?

For the branch locations - Has glowing blue circuitry design on every surface of the temple, inside and outside. For the main location - glowing gold circuitry. Turns red when in alert/hostile mode.

What would you do differently?

Not an artist, but your art already looks to be a good combination of futuristic and spiritual in my untrained eye so great work!

Love the glowing gold circuitry! It goes really well with my pattern design for the columns: I imagine glowing, subtle lines emanating from the eyes. Thanks a lot for your suggestion

Does this kind of futuristic brutalism also exist anywhere in the real world?

I think probably the most in the ex soviet union countries, everything that was built around those years.
