ARW is pleased to continue its Experiments with Inflatable Bodies in a series of performances at Robodock in Amsterdam, from September 21-24. Demonstrating pioneering new sculptural construction technique and control methods, these featherweight inflatable fabric kinetic sculptures both occupy space in ways different from all other ARW pieces, but move in new ways as well. Previous ARW machines were built primarily with metal, wood and plastic. ARW began work on inflatable sculptures with the Telescoping Totem Pole, 1996, and the Inflatable Mountains, part of the Amorphic Landscape, 2000, Amorphic Robot Works now takes lightweight, audience-friendly interactive kinetic sculptures to their next stage of development. Video of the first Bird piece can be seen here.
