Groove – Motion as a Language

Studio 7.5 (DE)

This project investigates the communicative potential of reactive surfaces and focuses on the collaboration between humans and autonomous vehicles. The membrane perceives and reacts to the environment like a sea anemone. The aim of the project is to use these expressive possibilities to transmit processes and intentions of an autonomous system to the environment.

Lucifer

Kari Massey (DE)

Lucifer is a small robot, which reacts to light and gives light. If Light were a living thing, how would we encounter it? How would we communicate with each other? With 3 joints, 3 degrees of freedom, Lucifer is able to react with a wide range of motion. He addresses us with his movements. How do we react to this feedback? He brings light and he seeks light. Do we accept his offer? Or will we try to take away the light he seeks? An experimental reflection on human behavior.
