Nature Bots (2005)
Theme: Creating artificial life that responds to natural life, nature.
2 of a series of 7 naturebots that are created to be placed within nature to respond to its environment. The works are made from found objects, and they use sound and wind to activate them.
The ladybug will interact with the sound birds make and flicker the lights on their back. This is to cause a certain intrigue and curiosity with animals and insects.
The sunflower is placed within a thicket. Sound and wind are used to activate the spinning effect of the flower. To observe if insects would react to this artificial life.
By using found objects, these works are recycled and placed in a very natural habitat. Although they may appear very obtrusive, they respond well to nature, just like its natural counterparts, the insects and animals.
The idea is to plant something unnatural and see how it interacts with the surroundings, using its random activations and responses natural elements, the wind and the sound.
