Garnet Rubio is 'Pleasure Bots's Futuristic Fluid Muse

On Sunday, photographer Courtney Charles will unveil Pleasure Bots, a new series that imagines a future where androids are self-aware, gender-free, and super stylish. "As gender becomes more fluid, it makes us question what defines us as humans," Charles explained of his show. "People want to put other people into categories instead of seeing them as an individual. Through this art, and through this lens of artificial intelligence effectively creating a new minority with its own culture, I want to help people realize that humans are no different and our consciousness has no gender."
