In a world where robots have achieved free-will, Pappy, the school patrol robot, realizes that all is not as it seems to be.
Artist Statement
Personally, I love when stories play with my expectations; the way that creators would use certain elements to build a controlled expectation in the audience’s mind, and at the end, turn the expectation against the audience. This method of storytelling confronts the audience’s history with narrative, culture, and interaction. This allows us to question the reason why we allowed ourselves to fall into the manipulation of the story; ideas and expecta?ons are regularly fed to us by those in power. It is in the act consuming ideas and expectations, we must question the messaging, and that not all information is accurate to the reality of the world.
