errazuriz’s work seeks to comment on the potential repercussions of technology on society today. the artist has has spent the past 5 years following the impact of technology on social economics, geopolitics, nano robotics and biotechnology. he forecasts 50% of current jobs will be displaced by automation in the next decade, creating a wave of global conflict. envisioned as a warning, the beginning of the end features sculptures that depict the new mythology of characters that are shaping our future — such as jeff bezos, elon musk and mark zuckerberg.
