In our robotics project we have decided that the direction we will follow will
be the sense of an ephemeral project. We do not want to capture an audience
for hours, we want you to see our proposed function of the arm and start thinking, start questioning and start building a conversation on something you did
not know about until then.
Our goal will be to decontextualize this arm, in the
sense of giving it a function and cause it to do what it is used to do but in a field
that has never been seen, by completely dismantling it through its presence.
Our interests are artistic, social and performative and from here we want to
play with it and investigate how much of a robot we humans are, or us humans,
why we distinguish ourselves so much from robots and what really distinguishes us. We want to nourish ourselves with everything that surrounds the
robotic arm that we have, and from here, moving away from what the robot is,
we want to draw a concept that inspires us to carry out a project that has as its
foundations the directions that we have made clear above.
