DRAWING OPERATIONS
“Drawing Operations is an ongoing collaboration between an artist and a robotic arm. The project investigates ideas of automation, autonomy, and collaboration as an exercise in behavioral empathy.”
By Sougwen Chung, 2015. More info here.
WING
“This robotised interactive object / installation looks like a wing, spreading 2,5 meters, hung on the height 3-4 meters. A thin cable is hanging from it, end of which features compact dermal miographic sensors (sensors measuring the electrical potential of muscles). The visitor or performer may install those sensors on his/her head behind the ear. Moving his/her ears, the visitor may direct the movements of the wing robot which hangs above. Only by rhythmical and complete movements one may achieve the full swing of the wing. “

BORDER
“"Border" is an innovative style of dance performance since it consists of the participation of both dancer and audience. Audiences are able to feel the installation space with their senses by riding personal mobilities all controlled by the system. 10 WHILLs -the personal mobility audiences ride- are prepared, so that 10 people can join at one time of the performance. “

PARTICLE WAVES
“Kinetic sound sculpture comprising of a 4x3 grid of 12 individual kinetic bowls.Within each bowl contains tiny metal beads of various sizes, creating “noises” as the bowl rotates in various angles. The noise from a single bowl forms collectively to become a soundscape, reminding us of waves and oceans.”

RHYTHM APPARATUS
“The apparatus consists of two analog robots, that are mounted into an aluminum frame. each of them is driven by a simple microcore circuit that generates a movement pattern by triggering motion on two motors.”
