In selected memorial sites of the Peasants' War in Mansfeld-Südharz, Saxony-Anhalt, the artistic landmark Robota 500 is being erected, enduring through its presence beyond the memorial year.
Robota 500 by Stine Albrecht and Hermann Beneke is a 2.70-meter-tall metal sculpture made of vertically layered aluminum plates, depicting a humanoid figure. Bathed in rainbow colors, the sculpture stands as both a symbol of the uprising of an instrumentalized class and a reflection on the technologization and automation of our natural way of life. Its raised arm could be seen as a call to action — or as a gesture pointing toward a new era.
