Thinking about how to install our new project phase, we've thrown up many ideas about how to place our little robots in the available space (not to mention the activities the robots will do, that's the topic of a forthcoming post). It was Barbara's idea to bring something natural element into it, just to enrich the relation between the robots' technic look and their animal- or human-like character. There was another problem, to bring them up to the height of the perceiver without building pedestals, which would make them more like regular art pieces. We really want to avoid that, these aren't sculptures. Anything that holds the robots should be something organic, like legs for example. Something that can work as a part of a whole, not just like a separate structure.
Thus came the idea of long flexible supports, that can hold the robots high, and can be associated with something natural, like grass or reed.
The actual objects will consist of a steel foot, a fishing rod and another steel piece to fix the robots to. The rods are
nice black and slightly swing under the move of the robot.
