ORGANIC MACHINE AND ARTIFICIAL LIFE – EMBEDDED INTELLIGENCE – ROBOTICS AND BIOROBOTICS
The Living Machine is a wired structure with the characteristics of living creatures in terms of morphology, biology and behaviour. What is a living creature? What defines it? At what point can we say that an entity, a machine is alive? This artificial machine has a body, feelings, moves around, reacts to stimuli and is able to learn. We have the impression that it is alive. What tells us that it is not? This installation will allow visitors to investigate artificial life in a tangible way. Come and observe, interact with and express your feelings about this artwork…
