Nonhumotion 2.0
Picture Rhythm Studios and Studio for Narrative Spaces. Robotic performance installation.
In the historic past, when the planet threatened human livelihood, Indigenous communities performed rain dances to seek relief. In a climate-changed future where organisms are extinct and plants face drought, Nonhumotion 2.0 asks robots to perform a rain dance.
Two robots are programmed to perform carefully synchronized looping movements. Projection, visual design, and lighting construct a post-apocalyptic vision of a planet facing severe weather, where only robots ask for mercy through ritualistic dance.
