AUTONOMOUS BOTANIST: THE POETIC POTENTIALS OF A NEW ROBOTIC SPECIES

Abstract
This project begins by asking questions about ethics and empathy towards robots, and contemplates the future of their behavior in ways not informed by pragmatics or economy. What if a robot had a hobby? How do robots make aesthetic decisions? What is a robot's point of view? It seeks to shift perception of robotic agency and allow the audience to embody the robotic gardeners' vision, behavior and influence its aesthetics. By amplifying perceptual differences between humans and robots and we allow for both tangible and virtual embodiment experiences from multiple scales and perspectives. This compelling design speculation seeks to deploy a variety of interactive computational techniques, exploring novel forms and behaviors in order to engage deeper philosophical issues surrounding aesthetics, non-human agencies, and the role of the synthetic in the future.
