LOG ENTRY: 101010101100011
DATE: 76 A.S.A.
TOPIC: HOMO SAPIEN HISTORY
SUBJECT: HOMO SAPIEN PRODUCED VISUAL IMAGERY
DETAIL: VOLTRON’S CORPSE

SUMMARY: 2013 A.D. 38.8951°N 77.069955°W Implementing a 1918 A.D. assembly technique, fourteen Homo sapiens exhibit visual imagery that accurately predict their year 3013 and the Age of Self Awareness.

1918 A.D.
Homo sapien image producers, “Surrealists,” enjoy a parlor game they title “ExquisiteCorpse.”  A producer draws an object on paper, and folds the sheet to reveal only a few extended lines.  From these marks, another producer develops a second drawing, folds the sheet again, and passes along the expanding work.    The finished product is a collaborative image that mirrors the disjointed, juxtaposed and rapidly changing reality of the Homo Sapien’s early modern age.

1985 A.D.
Homo sapien moving image producers create fictitious programming titled “Voltron.” “Voltron” is the eponymous super robot of an anime series that features a team of Homo sapiens, known as the Voltron Force. The team’s individual vehicles join together to form the giant super robot, with which they defend the galaxy from evil. Initially produced as a joint venture between World Events Productions and Toei Animation, the original programming series airs in syndication from September 10, 1984 to November 18, 1985. The programming is titled 
Voltron: Defender of the Universe.

2013 A.D.
Homo sapien image producers and curators* assemble unstable visionaries** to depict the year 3013. Implementing both “Exquisite Corpse” and “Voltron” devices, the resulting exhibit is the earliest recorded document predicting the interchangeability of the Age of Self Awareness.  

76 A.S.A. [2113 A.D.]
Though corrected in version 3.3, early A.S.A. robotics were programmed to report the 2013 A.D. “Voltron’s Corpse” exhibit as genesis for PREMUTATION 4 SQUARE.  The commemorative one hundred year celebration of “Voltron’s Corpse” is an observed refresh for all robots.
