Threading Space develops spatial experiences by dynamically and geometrically reconfiguring physical lines. Using a swarm of mobile robots on the floor and ceiling to control lines of thread, the work explores how human’s spatial perception can be manipulated. The interplay of reconfiguring, twisting and aligning threads as a unified swarm creates an installation of architectural scale, offering insights into our perception of physical space and reality through the medium of physical and actuated abstractions.
