overheadbot/
light/kinetic installation
Prickbot is a tiny, solar energy powered robot designed to run on the light of an overhead projector. This work was prepared for the Arts of the overhead festival 2009. The robot, sitting on the projector platform, intermittently makes random rotating movements and pricks tiny holes in a thin aluminium sheet. Bit by bit, the projected image on the wall changes from a starry sky to a supernova. The design is based on Mark Tilden’s BEAM technology.
Prickbot was presented at Arts
of the overhead festival 2009/Malmö and MULTIPLEX/TRANSNATURAL/2010
Amsterdam and
