Biography
EXOSKELETON
Exoskeleton is a six-legged, pneumatically powered walking machine that has been constructed for the body. The body actuates the walking machine by moving its arms. Different gestures make different motions; a translation of arm to leg motions and of human bipedal locomotion to insect-like machine locomotion exists. The body’s arms guide the choreography of the locomotor’s movements, thus composing the cacophony of pneumatic, mechanical and sensor modulated, midi generated sounds. The artist composes the sounds by choreographing the movements of the walking machine and the mechanical manipulator. He not only has to see the direction that he is heading but must also listen to the sounds that the machine is making. Therefore, the robot is not only a walking machine, but also a sound machine.
