Pufis represent microorganisms living in an
open ecosystem, while the collection of objects functions as a
sensitive sensory network. The visitor is subsumed into the
artificially produced »biosphere« through active sensor-based
interaction. Pufination is incomplete without interaction. There's no
leading role, we're all just cohabiting.
Pufiji ponazarjajo mikroorganizme, ki sobivajo v
odprtem ekosistemu.
Skupina objektov deluje kot občutljiva senzorska mreža. Obiskovalec se
vplete v umetno uprizorjeno »biosfero« preko aktivne, na senzorjih
temelječe interakcije.
Brez interakcije Pufinacija ni popolna. Glavnega akterja ni, vsi
sobivamo.
The project thus
highlights our relationship to other life as an important factor to
every individual’s own survival. In Pufination, we find ourselves
inside a simulated projection of our everyday. Decentralised control,
close stimulus response and adherence to simple rules – this is what
links robots and visitors in the Pufination.
Tako projekt izpostavlja odnos do sobivajočih kot
pomemben del lastnega
preživetja posameznika. V Pufinaciji se znajdemo znotraj simulirane
projekcije našega vsakdana. Decentraliziran nadzor, odziv na bližnje
dražljaje in sledenje preprostim pravilom – to združuje robote in
gledalca v Pufinacijo.
Pufi robots are
based on the Arduino platform. They communicate with each other by a
wireless network and with people by touch, sound, light and
vibration.
Roboti Pufi so zasnovani na platformi
Arduino. Med sabo komunicirajo po brezžičnem omrežju, z ljudmi pa prek
dotika, zvoka, svetlobe in tresenja.
