Ok, for digital culture I've been reading about the Freud theories and one of his theories that jumped out at me was his idea that although we all have the inbuilt desire to reproduce and that is our destiny, we also have an ultimate goal and that is what Freud called the 'death drive' that our ultimate goal is actually to die.
I began to think about how I might visually illustrate/ animate this and came up with a little robot character who believes his destiny is to re-create himself. He spends his short life building a new robot in his image... only to realise that the final piece to be put in place must be his gift of life, taken from himself and ending his own - that is his mission.
