I’m delighted to announce the premiere of a new project: Double-Taker (Snout), a large-scale outdoor interactive robot which appears to react with surprise to the presence and movements of its visitors. Shaped like a giant worm, with a foot-wide googly eye, Double-Taker attempts to synthesize a convincing new body language in a whimsical take on the themes of eye contact, gestural choreography, subjecthood, and autonomous surveillance. The project’s official web site, which includes video, images, and complete lists of collaborators and sponsors, can be found here.
