TELEZONE
- with Peter Purgarthofer and Volker Christian - architectural telerobotic installation for online community, networked robot, custom made hard and software 200 TELEZONE creates a parallel between the real and the virtual. An online community designs architectural structures using a web based CAD interface. These structures are carefully constructed by an industrial robot arm which cements 1cm rectangular elements within a 2 meter building area. Structures thus exist in two forms: within the virtual space of a 3d simulator, and within the real space of the building area. The result will reflect both, the complex social interactions of the builders, and the contrast between the Cartesian world of pure design and the realities of mass, gravity, and imprecision. <--- back |
