D.G.M. — Las Vegas — Field date: Oct 6, 2026, 03:42 PST. That sentence becomes more valuable with time. It is written not as a tagline, but as a temporal marker — anchoring the archive to a specific moment when human work was still central to the entertainment infrastructure of Las Vegas.
01 — The Bio
Canonical bio — UPOS2036-FR-001 · 412 words / 5 paragraphs · Primary-source historical document.
Daniel Gomez Martinez is a Las Vegas-based technical specialist, documentarian, and founder of UP OS 2036, a cultural movement and living archive documenting humanity’s transition into an AI-driven economy.
Working directly inside major entertainment and production environments, Daniel documents the people performing the physical, technical, creative, and operational work that keeps modern Las Vegas moving. Through photography, field notes, interviews, and raw video, he records something that conventional technology histories often overlook: the human experience of automation as it happens in real time.
UP OS 2036 focuses on the psychological and cultural “spine” of the workforce — the intuition, craftsmanship, camaraderie, uncertainty, resistance, adaptation, and identity of people confronting a rapidly changing relationship between humans and machines.
Rather than predicting the future from a distance, Daniel is building a longitudinal record from the ground level.
The project began from a simple premise: humanity should not disappear from the history of its own automation.
Signature Thesis — Primary
“UP OS 2036 exists to make sure humanity is not erased from the history of its own automation.”
To be placed on: website / docs / field notes / credits
Alternate — Social / Exhibition Title
“I document the human being before the machine writes the history.”
02 — Evidence System
A recurring format designed to become a longitudinal dataset. After 100 entries: research material. After 1,000: primary-source history.
“At load-in, Marco said he’s not worried about robots taking the truss — he’s worried no one will remember how to rig it safely when the software glitches. It’s not replacement he fears, it’s erasure of know-how. I filmed his hands taping a cable, thirty years of muscle memory in one wrap.”

PRESERVATION: Original + Transcript + Metadata
RIGHTS: Documentarian-held, anonymized where needed
After 100 entries, you don’t have social posts. You have a longitudinal dataset. After 1,000 entries, you have something historians, journalists, and AI-policy researchers can study. That is more defensible than calling yourself a futurist.
03 — Historical Clock
The UP OS 2036 Human Archive · Ten-year observational window. Every year, same questions: What changed? What stayed human? What did we lose?
2026
Baseline
Establish first-person record of human labor before automation scales. Photography, interviews, daily operations.
2027
Adaptation
Track emergent coping strategies. New tools, new anxieties, new vernacular inside production crews.
2028
Acceleration
Automation moves from pilot to policy. Document acceleration gaps between executive narrative and floor reality.
2029
Displacement
Measure role erosion. Who is reassigned, who is retained, who leaves — and what knowledge leaves with them.
2030
Reinvention
Document invention of new human work that did not exist in 2026. Craft reasserts itself.
2031
Divergence
Two labor markets become visible: automated core and human periphery. Record both.
2032
Negotiation
Labor, law, and machine logic collide. Contracts, credits, consent.
2033
Memory
Institutional memory becomes a market. What we chose to save in the archive becomes valuable.
2034
Synthesis
Human-machine collaboration stabilizes into new disciplines. Document masters of hybrid work.
2035
Transmission
Teach the transition. Exhibitions, curriculum, licensing to preserve technique.
2036
Assessment
Open the archive. Compare 2026 prediction to lived reality. Publish primary-source findings.
“We don’t know what 2036 will look like. That’s why we’re documenting 2026.” — Methodology statement. This timeline is not predictive; it is observational scaffolding.
04 — Institutional Architecture
This is the move that makes the work survive you. Institutional thinking.
Layer 01 — Founder
Founder / Director / Field Documentarian
Creator of the archive. Human witness inside the workforce.
↓
Layer 02 — Institution
Cultural movement / archive / research platform
Operates the archive. Gives linguistic ownership of the category. Survives beyond social profile.
↓
Layer 03 — Body of Evidence
The actual body of evidence
Daniel created the archive. UP OS 2036 operates the archive. The archive documents humanity’s transition. Future formats: documentaries → books → exhibitions → datasets → academic partnerships → educational programs → historical collections.
