Machine XY745900OI
This drawing is a hybrid creation,
combining both traditional and digital methods. Every visible detail was
meticulously hand-drawn on paper, while the individual elements were later
assembled digitally. Technically, this makes the work hybrid in nature: all
lines were executed by hand, yet the complete and coherent composition was
constructed digitally.
The work took approximately six
years to complete, including both the preliminary sketches and the extensive
research that preceded them. The scientific research phase lasted five years,
while the actual drawing process took only one year. Developing such a vision
required sustained investigation into physics, mathematics, and electrical
engineering. This means that the true value and uniqueness of the drawing do
not lie merely in its lines or visuals, but in the intellectual depth behind
its conception. In today’s world, such abilities are more essential than ever,
as they provide the foundation for understanding the functioning of machines
and technologies. The gift of invention, unfortunately, is rarer than
representational art—yet the two can also be deeply interconnected, as this
drawing demonstrates.
The drawing represents a single
object: a machine, with each of its components presented separately across the
composition. But
the composition is not accidental—the details are arranged across the canvas in
a way that meets both aesthetic and narrative demands. Not a single element is
missing or superfluous, and nothing here is left to chance. Depicted are numerous elements of electrical engineering,
such as motor parts, circuit diagrams, microchips, transistors, wiring,
generator components, transformers, and mechanical parts, among others. The
visualization is, in a sense, a puzzle that the viewer must solve. All
components are provided, but the task is left to the viewer’s imagination to
assemble them into a whole. Assisting this process are the numbers accompanying
each detail. According to the artist, all components indeed fit together and
form a coherent machine—one that, in principle, could function in reality.
The machine in question is
envisioned as capable of generating a loop-shaped wormhole in spacetime. A
wormhole is a theoretical tunnel through spacetime that allows travel across
vast cosmic distances in an extraordinarily short period, or even the
possibility of moving through time. Thus, the drawing points toward a machine
that belongs to the realm of advanced space technology.
The most renowned private space
technology company in the world today is SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk.
Based at the Starbase development site in Texas, SpaceX has, since its
establishment in 2002, made groundbreaking advances in rocket propulsion,
reusable launch systems, crewed spaceflight, and satellite constellation
technologies. Through its Polaris Program, the company is also
developing spacesuits and astronaut systems, while in partnership with NASA’s Artemis
Program, it is creating a lunar lander for future missions to the Moon. The
Artemis Program, officially established in 2017 under Space Policy Directive-1,
aims to restore human presence on the Moon for the first time since Apollo 17
in 1972, with the goal of building a permanent lunar base and laying the
groundwork for human missions to Mars.
The Polaris Program encompasses two
missions with SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft and is designed to
culminate in the first crewed launch of Starship. The inaugural mission,
Polaris Dawn, launched in 2024 and featured the first-ever commercial
spacewalk.
Yet a machine capable of generating
a loop-shaped spacetime tunnel, enabling humanity to traverse vast distances in
space almost instantaneously, would revolutionize both the Polaris and Artemis
programs. If such a machine—outlined in the conceptual details of this
drawing—were ever understood and developed, it could accelerate human
colonization of the Moon and, eventually, Mars, far beyond current
technological limitations.
