An abstract representation of a fly is held captive inside a glass box, centrally ensnared by eight cables. The behaviour of this \u2018fly\u2019 is controlled by a unique and autonomous algorithm, accurately simultating the observed behaviour of real flies.The \u2018fly\u2019 has the freedom to move anywhere within its box, but lacks spatial reference.&#8221; [1]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This piece immitates the actions of an insect or fly in real life. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randominternational.com\">rAndom International<\/a>, an experimental art\/design collective based in London, used a system of pullies to suspend the titanium ball inside the glass box.\u00a0 When a viewer walks up to the piece, the ball moves sporadically away and around the enclosure like a fly naturally would.\u00a0 If the person stops, the object becomes more comfortable and moves closer, but when motion continues, the ball moves away again and continues to &#8220;fly&#8221; around.\u00a0 This piece uses mechanical aspects like titanium cables and pullies, but creates an environment with an organic feel to it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[1] <a href=\"http:\/\/random-international.com\/work\/fly\/\">rAndom International<\/a>, <em>Fly<\/em> project website<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":97,"featured_media":14432,"template":"","artist":[1052],"streams":[8],"keywords":[4254],"decade":[],"media":[],"class_list":["post-881","artwork","type-artwork","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artist-random-international","streams-charged-environments","keywords-random-international-fly"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artwork"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/881\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14431,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/881\/revisions\/14431"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=881"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=881"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=881"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=881"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
