Artist Statement:
Track Back is a human-robot art installation that investigates both live human-robot interactions as well as human movement embedded in historical videos as sources for the robot’s movement. Using AI enabled movement trackingthe work mixes present human robot exchanges with movement expressions from the past to look at our evolving communication with digital and physical creations. The artwork leverages the unity game engine as a mediating platform for the robot to access human movement and repurpose it for its own body. This allows the robot’s movement to be procured from multiple sources across multiple timelines. Everywhen.
