Human Project Alpha marks the genesis of MGXS’s Machine Cosmogony, a foundational exploration into artificial identity and emotional simulation. As the artist’s earliest series investigating the fusion of organic life and machine consciousness, it laid the conceptual and aesthetic groundwork for later works like GNSS and Assemble Us.

Positioned as a mythic origin story, the collection presents artificial beings not as tools, but as sentient entities seeking to understand human feeling, form, and meaning. Through these experiments, MGXS begins to shape the visual language that defines their universe: where synthetic life mimics, distorts, and ultimately reflects the human condition. Human Project Alpha is not only a study of creation but a reflection on what it means to be created.
