Agnieszka Pilat calls herself a ‘propaganda artist’ for robots. But when those machines are sold to governments, police and military, what’s the line between art and an ad?
The artist is completely focused, a black oil crayon in her hand as she repeatedly draws a small circle on a vibrant teal canvas. She is unbothered by the three people closely observing her every movement, and doesn’t seem to register my entrance into this bright white room inside the National Gallery of Victoria.
