It consists of 10 spider-like sculptures that can sense and interact with the public in real-time. Because on this, they self-modify their behaviours, based on the interaction with the viewer, themselves, their environment and their food source. The spider bots are chimera\u2019s, they see like bats with long-distance ultrasonic eyes and shorter distance infrared eyes, and twitter like birds. Their necks are very flexible and unlike their looks might suggest, they contain a certain aesthetic grace when doing their unique walking motion. <\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/autotelematic-spiderbots2-1.jpg\" title=\"Autotelematic Spider Bots\" width=\"350\" height=\"263\" class=\"float-right\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Working to combine elements of engineering, architecture, entymology and more, Rinaldo tried to create a quasi-ecosystem that would sense, react and \u2018speak\u2019. [1] [2] He does have experience in these installations as he created <em>Autopoiesise<\/em> in 2000. It consisted of 15 robotic sound sculptures. Like <em>Autotelematic Spider Bots<\/em>, the elements in <em>Autopoiesis<\/em> modified their behaviour over times as a response to public interaction, exhibiting individual and collective behavior. [3] As Rinaldo says, &#8220;I am interested in the intertwined symbiosis of all living things at all levels and scales. What is happening in our technological world is a systemic approach which doesn\u2019t take on ecology and communication.\u201d [4] <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ekac.org\/\">Eduardo Kac <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marceliantunez.com\/tikiwiki\/tiki-index.php?page=MarceliCalendar2010\">Marcel.li Anunez Roca<\/a> wrote in <em>Robotic Art<\/em> that robots are a new kind of art. \u201cRobots are not only objects to be perceived by the public [&#8230;] but are themselves capable of perceiving the public, responding according to the possibilities of their sensors.\u201d [5] This description aptly fits the interactive Autotelematic Spider Bots.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<p>[1] <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenrinaldo.com\/\">Website artist<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[2] <a href=\"http:\/\/www.osu.edu\/features\/2006\/rinaldo\/\">More information<\/a> on art work<\/p>\n<p>[3] Edward Shanken, red. <em>Art and Electronic Media<\/em>.
