Against a monochrome white background, five figures stand dressed in typical 2000s fashion. Instead of heads, they have large eyes on their bodies, looking confused or somewhat bored. The figures are surrounded by sharp black outlines, making them stand out clearly against the background.
In connection with the title “What Again Was Our Mission?”, the figures resemble aliens moving around on Earth in human form. Do these beings come from another planet and are trying to explore our world, find their way around it, or remember what their mission was? Or do they represent AI, constantly observing us through the eyes on their bodies while appearing in the form of a helpful humanlike assistant, slowly beginning to question its own mission?
In a humorous and somewhat absurd way, the work also questions whether we, as humans, sometimes lose sight of our own purpose, direction, or “mission.”
