SENSE_ERR
A gesture-responsive robotic arm installation where audience movement becomes delayed mechanical feedback.
- Role
- Interaction designer, creative technologist
- Context
- Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria
- Tools
- Arduino / robotic arm / sensors / p5.js / Max/MSP
- Status
- exhibited
System response
The arm transforms presence into lag, hesitation, and mechanical misrecognition.
Process notes
- Map proximity and gesture into mechanical states.
- Use delay as expressive behavior instead of error.
- Tune movement so the system feels responsive but never obedient.
