Pawn is one of the first players moved in the strategic game of chess. It represents an early move, from a technological perspective, in the automation of many aspects of global industry. The entire physical sculpting process of Pawn was done by robot rather than humans. This marks an important moment in history, where the capabilities of machines are increasingly outperforming the human alternatives. Pawn represents an early strategic move within a larger game being played across global industry. A game that is moving towards a technologic workforce in favor of one consisting largely of human workers. This sculpture is the first piece created as part of Game Series.
