Robot, Doing Nothing III

Comissioned for the exhibition “ERROR – The Art of Imperfection” by Ars Electronica for DRIVE. Volkswagen Group Forum in Berlin.

How would a society look like in which you are rewarded for doing nothing? This robotic installation invites you to let your mind wander freely in a state of inactivity while watching the constant changes in its geometric string pattern. The installation is as much a critique of the extreme busyness of modern society, in which we are permanently present and ready to communicate, as it is a post-industrial future scenario in which robots are part of our daily lives.
