Does an architectural object have personality?
While verifying the code for the desktop art sculpture, I noticed that the tiny dancers/aechitectural components seemed to have personalities of their own.
For instance, take a look at this first one. It’s a Rorschach test of its own:

The dancing mannequin has/is what? Climbed a set of stairs like an athletic Fred Astaire tap dancing in a top hat and tails? A social climber? A dreamer reaching for the stars? An astronaut on Mars constructing a new habitation module?
And what about this one?
Is the mannequin feeding the artificial flower or the other way around?
And the third example…
A dancing stage or a launch platform?
The fourth is even less obvious:
Half-built skyscraper or coloured tongue depressors glued together in a preschool class?
And, finally, the last example:
Is this a miniature version of sculpture in a metropolitan museum or the model for an upcoming music video production?
It is a robot decinstructed into its components as art — let your imagination run away with the interpretation!
One last look before final artwork construction begins
Designing the interactive artwork
Well, with two days to go, the robot hacks team is down to conpleting the final pieces on top of the interactive artwork — no pressure!
We wanted to have some influence from historical modern architecture so off to the library we went.
Here are some images that will influence tonight’s design:
And I shall try to avoid artwork with premonitions builtin!
Of course, there’s current/contemporary architecture to consider, too. Maybe in a separate blog post.
