Created by Julia Vollmer, Goal Seeking consists of small robots with a vibration motor that are only powered through a solar panel and an external artificial light source. In a space to their own, the small, simple robots move around. Their energy cycle is wasteful, the space is confined and the movements of the robots are seemingly irrelevant, but through their number and the boundaries bringing the robots together, collective behavior emerges.
Do we perceive them as singular senseless entities or part of a bigger (intelligent) collective? The robots are unknowingly (due to the lack of sensing) working together towards an unknown and unspecified goal. Without a defined goal, the seeking continues. Once the light turns off, all movement stops.
Each solar bots consist of a solar panel facing down, a vibration motor. While each bot moves individual they are all powered through one light source that can be turn on and off, stopping all movement simultaneously as a result.
Created for the inaugural ‘Day for Night festival’ by AV&C’s Vincent Houzé, Stephen Baker and David Bianciardi, Lull is an immersive and contemplative installation that explores the liminal state between conscious and unconscious.
