The Werkleitz-Gesellschaft provides information:
The Robota 500 artistic landmark has been erected in Stolberg (Harz), Osterhausen and Emseloh – selected places of remembrance of the Peasants’ War events (around 1525) in the district of Mansfeld-Südharz. It will preserve the memory of the victims beyond the commemorative year Gerechtigkeyt 2025.
Robota 500 by Stine Albrecht and Hermann Beneke is a 2.70 m high metal sculpture made of vertically layered aluminum plates that represents a humanoid figure. The rainbow-coloured sculpture stands on the one hand as a symbol for the revolt of an instrumentalized class and on the other hand raises questions about the technologization and automation of our natural way of life. Its raised arm could be a call to arms, but also a pointer to a new age.
