Ars Electronica Futurelab’s Fluxels, a scalable swarm of ground robots equipped with hexagonal LED displays, brought about a new language of visual expression. The bots can transform visual content into an aesthetic performance via their integrated screens, leading to a vast range of potential applications. In collaboration with NTT, they have been optimized for use at international sporting events since the first prototype in 2017. In 2021, Stream of Hope finally offered a singular artistic opportunity for sports events in Osaka and Yokohama, visually enhancing the ceremony and creating a unique cultural moment.
