Colony 001

This is the first installation of a series of robotic colonies. All these machines are based on either existing or theoretical mechanical structures envisioned to be used at the nano mechanical stage or on industrial manipulators used in assembly lines. The manipulators are not the typical 6DOF robot arm but rather positional devices using complex mechanical shapes. Being blown up to human visibility and body size, the visitors can experience these now deviant macro-nano-robots in the context of colonies. Out of the assembly line, the robots are lost, seeking for a new meaning of life. Colonies are groups of similar machines are created, namely 8 to 16. The behaviours of the colonies are fictitious.
