The Automaton Project

  AweGallery proudly presents The Automaton Project 2025, an extraordinary exhibition by artist and filmmaker Jonathan Jayasuria that fuses the power of cinema with the intimacy of art. This groundbreaking showcase transforms the gallery into a film set come alive—where miniatures, large-scale installations, and handmade robot figurines unfold like scenes from a movie.  

 Jonathan’s vision for The Automaton Project grew from one provocative question: What if an exhibition could feel like watching—and living—through a film? Rather than static displays, each artwork is imagined as a narrative sequence, drawing audiences into a continuous storyline of myth, memory, and speculation about the future.

  📅 Dates: October 10—20, 2025
📍 Venue: AweGallery21 Jalan 20/13, Taman Paramount, 46300 Petaling Jaya   

At its core, the exhibition reflects Jonathan’s lifelong fascination with automatons—mechanical beings that mirror human life. From ancient myths of living statues to today’s pop culture robots, these figures embody our eternal dialogue with technology: hope, fear, and the dream of reinvention.

  Running from 10 October to 20 October 2025 at AweGallery, The Automaton Project 2025 promises more than an art show—it is a cinematic journey, a collectible adventure, and an unforgettable sensory experience.
