Independent robotics community, 2005
This installation is based on several concerns and studies on the research and representation of new forms of interaction/communication between mechanical components, robots and carbon-based representations, humans. Our objective is to promote communication by increasing the level of socialization as it develops higher levels of communication. These trobades are displayed on a projector with a graphic screen of interconnected lines. One of the robots is also equipped with a spy camera that represents the subjective point of view of an individual in comparison with the graphic display of social statistics.
