For a young artist whose work is as cheeky as unconventional in both its form and aesthetics, Zenita Komad is untypically straightforward in addressing spirituality. In her project The Artist and the Kabbalist, she speaks with celebrated scientist and Kabbalist Michael Laitman. Saying and epigrams are transposed into her own visual language with humor and spiritual scrutiny. The Artist, The Kabbalsit & The CirlcXperiement by Zenita Komad provides people with visual stimulation that immediately touches their hearts. This is art that heralds the message of unity and connection as a solution to all problems with asbsolute contemporaneity and the urgency the times demand. It speals to us with itnelligent imagery that gets us, and keeps us, thinking and feeling.

In many modes of behavior, people act more and more like machines. In the context of work, people have become a human resource that can be replaced at any time. An existence without purpose cannot be imagined – just as a machine without function is absurd. Do humans already think like machines? Do they have a "master-slave" relationship with them? Are humans no longer any more than an organic prosthetic fitted to an inorganic body? With his created robotic beings, Niki Passath breaks with this seemingly rational technological system. By eliminating the predominant rationality of the machine, he gives it a new meaning. This book is the first monograph on the artist’s oeuvre. Internationally renowned experts shed light on the many facets of his work.
