About the artwork

The Mona Lisa's smile is an expression of her personality, her feelings or her secrets. It reflects her cheerfulness, her contentment or her irony. It is a smile that fascinates, challenges or seduces the viewer. To produce such a smile, a robot would have to have an artificial intelligence that allows it to feel, understand and show emotions. It would also have to have an individual identity that distinguishes it from other robots. It would therefore have to be more than just a machine that is programmed to perform certain functions. It would have to have its own consciousness that enables it to perceive and evaluate itself and its environment. The artificial intelligence used to create this black and white photo has already looked ahead a little. It can't be long now.

But perhaps it is not so important whether a robot can smile like Mona Lisa. Perhaps it is more important whether we as humans can smile like Mona Lisa. Because Mona Lisa's smile is not only a work of art, but also an inspiration. It invites us to develop our own personality, to keep our own secrets and to show our own cheerfulness. It challenges us to question our own perceptions, unleash our own creativity and show our own irony. It seduces us to recognise our inner beauty, to find our contentment and to show our love.

The Mona Lisa's smile is therefore not only a riddle, but also a message. A message that tells us humans: smile like Mona Lisa.
