The series of digital artworks "Once upon a Time there was Humanity" is inspired by his previous series titled "Exclusions," maintaining an aesthetic and symbolic coherence. This time, it invites us to reflect on the importance of consciousness and gratitude while exploring the relationship between the physical and the digital.
In this series, Rauhut utilizes 3D animation of maps of major metropolises to represent a contrast between the present and an uncertain, apocalyptic future.
