SOLO is a collaboration with Karmen Franinovic on artificial sentience and pain. How does an organism sense a pain impulse and answer it?
Through electroactive polymers we tested the limits of electricity in fluids, and acoustic feedback as a way for a system to notice itself and the room. The result is an immersive space: spatialised sonic impulses and a retractable lens that throws a beam of light and thickens the presence of a responsive being.
