In 2015 Robak was commissioned to create Sundial, a trio of abstract looping videos for the 800-square-foot digital facade of the flagship Microsoft Store on Fifth Avenue in New York, changing color and mood with the time of day.His 2019 generative video North Star depicts a walk through a digital forest whose combinations of plants, trees, weather and daylight never repeat, and it featured in a large multi-screen installation included in the Museum of Modern Art's 2019 exhibition “New Order”.That same year his solo show “Mental” inaugurated gallerist Todd von Ammon's new space, von ammon co., in Washington, D.C.
In 2022 he released Colorspace on Art Blocks Curated, a generative project later added to Flamingo DAO's collection.,His collection Human Resources revives the 10,000-piece PFP format from the 2021 NFT boom, replacing cartoon avatars with AI-and-collage corporate headshots that map the org chart of a fictional conglomerate, from interns and baristas to a golf-playing executive class.,The series, limited entirely to a white male mannequin, was shown by the gallery Danae at Basel Social Club and released as a SOLOS edition on Verse.,In 2025 his work was included among twenty artists in “Milestones”, Kate Vass Galerie's survey of landmark Art Blocks projects for Art Blocks Marfa Weekend.
