Originally started in Interaction Design course at the Zurich University of the Arts, ZHdK, Andreas Fürer, Andy Kirk & Sonjoi Nielsen developed an object akin to a mechanical arm or tentacle, which with simple base mechanics is capable of various intricate articulations. Through machine-based choreography influenced by organic responses to sensory inputs and scenography, the core mechanics are used to explore tensions and interactions between the fields of technology and nature, in a speculative vision of reciprocating mimicry and emulation.

Andreas Fürer, Sonjoi Nielsen
Andreas Fürer and Sonjoi Nielsen are contributing a mechatronics piece to the exhibition. The two artists met at the Zurich art university while studying interaction design in 2018. They use their background in Architecture and Engineering to tackle the vast topic of emphatic robotics. Individually they have exhibited their work at Destructura Tallinn, Ars Electronica in Linz as well as various Art Galleries and Festivals around Switzerland.
