Final Project Proposal – Little Friends
CONCEPT
In this project I am building a group of creature-like robots which interact with people.
In many movies we can find a group of small adorable creatures that are friends of human beings.
We like creatures that is smaller than us and being surrounded by them we feel worm.
(of course, if those guys look like bugs in “Mummy” you might wanna run away)
They usually have same characteristics: soft, small, and pure soul. And most important thing is that they
make human beings aware of being respect to the nature.
In my final project I am interested in exploring the interaction between a school of physical
objects and the user, also creating an experience of playing with objects which have minds.
To implement the kinetic installation I am thinking of using camera to track viewers’ position from above,
and projecting intense light circle on the floor. A school of light following robot will then tracing those
light sources.
