Abstract
Spider And I (2019) involves an hexapod (ie a robot with six legs looking like a big mechanical spider) whose behaviour seems to alternate calm moments and attitudes of distrust and aggressiveness. This robotic sculpture sets up a strange and artificial choreography through the multiples speed variations and the slight movements of the hexapod. These shifts of behaviour are directly linked to the emotional state of the artist, who will be equipped with a smart wristband while the work is exhibited, in order to send his biometrical data to the robot through the network.
