«Autopoiesis»

A-life installation. It consists of fifteen robotic sound sculptures with kinetic arms hung from the ceiling of the installation space. They interact with the public and modify their behaviors over time, based on feedback from infrared sensors, the presence of the participant/viewers in the exhibition and the communication between each separate sculpture via bit-sequences. The algorithms control an aleatoric set-up that determines the kinetic movements of the group and the development of the sound-space. The interactivity engages the viewer/participant who in turn, effects the system's evolution and emergence. This creates a system evolution as well as an overall group sculptural aesthetic. The viewer is able to walk through the sculptural installation and have the arms interact both individually and as a group. This interaction generates a progressive development in real time and leads to a self-organising system.
A-life installation commissioned by the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki (FIN) as part of Outoaly, the Alien Intelligence Exhibition curated by Erkki Huhtamo, 2000
