Poise→[d] is a hybrid installation that uses chemical and physical reactions to control its behavior and sound synthesis. The installation consists of the main control unit and three balancing robots.
The main control unit has three core systems where the reactions occur, with everything analyzed by a computer algorithm using cameras. This project is based on self-organizing structures viewed from different angles. All three robots are connected to the main control unit and represent through sound and movement one of the three processes that are happening. The first robot is connected to a sound/mechanical process, the second one to a thermodynamic reaction, and the third to a chemical reaction. Taken together, they create a new and more complex system, as they affect each other through the movements of robots and the main algorithm. To a certain extent, this hybrid system consisting of robotized kinetic objects and chemical/physical reactions is symptomatic of prebiotic chemical evolution.
