Anthropomorphic Machine

Science Gallery Melb

About

Anthropomorphic Machine was a giant kinetic sculpture that utilised the principles of human body structure to create a responsive machine that reacts in real time to visitors’ gestures in the gallery. The canopy acted both as a physical artwork but also a sonic work.


As part of an extension of the work, being commissioned for a second season, I was asked to explore the possibilities of both online augmentations of the work but also in-gallery expansions.


In direct collaboration with Stelarc, we explored many avenues that could extend the work conceptually but also physically beyond the gallery walls.
