Tobia explores and imagines alternatives to human-machine interactions. It is part of the experimental project “Towards a new Liminality”. It questions the dialogues between humans and digital entities, explores the modes of cohabitation between organic and non-organic matter. It questions different forms of intelligence, artificial or not, and the ways of feeling things beyond hearing, touch or smell.

Like a slightly strange plant, Tobia is a robot that reacts to external stimuli. Through eyes scattered on his skin, he perceives light and detects human presence. An invitation to dialogue with a most surprising being.
