“Outerspace” is a reactive sculpture that behaves like an animal. It desires to explore the space surrounding it and to seek contact. This “curiosity” motivates it to search for light, motion, finally contact. When it finds something interesting, this again increases its curiosity to find out even more. Inevitable, the viewer becomes infected by the impetus of the sculpture. Its basic form is inspired by sensitive insect antennae that are able to make flexible movements in order to explore the environment.
