“This shy robot interacts with its environment on a cognitive level changing mood and behaviour accordingly”
Cube was designed and developed in 2005, originally exhibited at the conTemporary Gallery in Brighton before later appearing at FutureSonic, Optronica and Big Blip festivals.
Myself and three other individuals worked together on ‘Cube‘ (John Murdoch, Glen Lashley and Simon Feasey) with the help of Bill Bigge from the University of Sussex Autonomous Systems Lab.
The idea behind Cube was to take the typical user-to-art interaction scenario and turn it on its head so the art would be interacting with you. On approach Cube would appear to be a stationary black box sitting quietly in the gallery space, as you draw closer Cube will make a cognitive decision on whether it ‘likes you’ or ‘dislikes you’ based on your appearance. Once its mind is made up, it will either try its best to move away or follow you around the room.

As part of a larger photography project I am working on I spent a day rattling off a couple of b&w films, trying out a few ideas. These images were from a roll of Ilford XP2 and processed at a local hour lab, unfortunately they came out slightly sepia.

What is a ‘field recording’? (Source: Wikipedia)
Field recording is the technique for capturing the audible illustration of an environment, produced outside of a recording studio. A “field recording” is the actual recording that is produced.
Field recording, sometimes called Phonography, was originally employed as a documentary adjunct to research work in the field, but has since also found use as evocative art in itself.
