AIML

Concept:

AIML is a drawing robot that reacts to the mood of its environment. Using facial recognition and social media data, it analyzes the sentiment of a neighborhood and expresses it as a physical drawing. If the neighborhood is doing well, AIML draws calmly. If not, it becomes erratic and unpredictable. Abstract data made tangible.

My contribution:

Together with Jelle Reith, I built the robot, webcam integration, and the full physical installation, translating CLEVER°FRANKE's concept into a working robotic system.
