Abstract
This essay explores the robotic art installation 'Sisyphus,' interpreting its cyclical confrontation as a symbolic depiction of the ceaseless struggle between systemic power and collective resistance. By analyzing the dynamic reiteration of construction and demolition, we explore the concepts of futility, resistance, and the continual process of socio-political negotiation. Further, we investigate parallels between the installation's mechanical operations and the socio-political interactions. Ultimately, we argue that 'Sisyphus' portrays not a futile endeavor but resilience, ceaseless evolution, and the potential of resistance as transformative power.
