RoboticBloom
The work
Robotic Bloom creates encounters between humans and robots. These can take the form of performances, walks and shared presence.
Each situation opens a different way of being together.
Robotic Bloom – Eclosion Cycle
A robotic being emerges from its membrane. You are invited in as witness.
One realisation of Robotic Bloom: a ritual cycle of incubation, emergence, connection and return — repeated, alive, never quite the same.
“Eclosion” is the moment an insect leaves its pupa and enters the world. Here, an AI-animated machine being appears at close range, sharing a space with human bodies.
