internet of things, 2016
Internet of Things, 2016, automatic vacuum, cold press green juice, tor exit node and signal jammer, edition of 3. Commissioned by MU Eindhoven and Hek Basel.
The Internet of Things is series of three sculptures which function or cease functionality depending on their proximity to each other within the gallery. Due to the roombas robotic and automatic nature to clean based on an algorithm, the functionality becomes a dynamic interaction. The items placed on the roomba are used to conceal the wifi hotspot, signal jammer and tor exit node hardware but also play off and comment on cubical spaces, personal spaces within corporate environments. Depending on the roombas proximity to another roomba, cell phone or laptop. The devices will cease to function completely, function with stronger signals or will automatically anonymize the incoming and outgoing network traffic within their range.
