Out of Time

Take a machine and weave it seamlessly into a historical setting or a classical painting. We want to see sleek technology living out an everyday scene from a completely different era.

• The Subject: Your piece must feature a robot or advanced machinery as the primary focus. You can use the assets provided, or source your own, royalty-free mechanical plates.
• The Setting: The background must be a historical photograph or a classical painting.
• Manual Mastery Only: No AI crutches allowed. This is a pure test of your compositing skills. If your machine is sitting in a Renaissance oil painting, it needs to match the brush strokes and dramatic lighting. If it's in a Victorian photograph, match the film grain and focus blur. Hide your seams.
