A Happy New Year poster from the long-running "USSR-2061" project. The project aims to involve amateur/professional artists and writers by means of various online competitions and real-life exhibitions, financed via crowdfunding. The goal is to visualise a Communist future worth living for. The project's founders believe that many of the values of the first USSR were worthwhile and that they haven't lost their relevance today

The robot is designed to look for and find something specific on a page instead of all the clutter our brains sort through every day along the lines of "that's not important and can be ignored" and "that is important and it's time to be awake and alert" when we're taking a nap.
