Artist Stefano Cagol's SOS Torch display illuminates Day of Light celebration in Tyrol

As humanoid robots become more present in everyday life, public reactions range from awe to unease.

To mark the start of the UNESCO-led International Day of Light, renowned Italian artist Stefano Cagol sent out a message regarding the future relationship between humans and robots.

He ignited a series of SOS torches in front of Brixen’s grand cathedral in Italy and even invited a humanoid robot to lend a helping hand.

The unique piece, titled “We Own the Futures,” explores the evolving relationship between humans and intelligent machines.SOTS

The performance ended with Cagol and the robot gazing up at the sun, staring into their future together.
