TERRAIN 01

TERRAIN-01 is an interactive "artificial life" installation, a non-autonomous one, because it is a world of autonomous cybernetic vehicles dependent on external light energy. The plane, round TERRAIN 01 characterises its cosmos and, at the same time, limits its horizon. The inner unconscious state of an external observer, his brain wave pattern, controls the global state of a robot colony, synonymous for the indissoluble crosslinking of the world of thoughts with the world of matter.
