"An industrial robot putting Jesuses on crosses." A gif posted on Reddit on the Cyberpunk site.[1]

Looped video showing an industrial-robot arm putting one apparently plastic crucified Jesus on the top row of apparently wooden crosses on a two-part conveyor belt, and then on the bottom row, and then the belt moving a step to viewer right for the next placement on the cross of a plastic (?) Jesus. As of 30 August 2019: archived, with a closed thread of comments.[2]

Note well the interpretation of the image as "Cyberpunk." See for the real-world mashup of the cybernetic, electronic, and mechanical of the robotic arm, in frame with plastic, what may be wood, the image of a human body, and, for Christian believers, an image of the incarnation of the Divine (joining organism and spirit, matter and Godhead). Note a kind of superposition of the robotic on the plastic (?) Jesus, with the possible symbolism of the robotic in dynamic contact with the human, divine, and plastic.
