Interface I (Ralf Baecker', 2016)
https://rlfbckr.io/project/interface-i/

"Interface I investigates the boundary between two interacting systems. Each system is a compound of motors, strings, and elastic bands arranged horizontally. The two units face each other vertically (one on the top, one on the bottom). Each motor on each level (top, bottom) is connected by a string to its opposite, which meet in the center. Both motors pull their string in the opposite direction (like in a tug of war). At the point where the strings meet, a mesh of elastic bands connects each string to its neighbors. The mesh couples each element to its surrounding elements in order to achieve a local emergent behavior"

unfortunately never saw the piece IRL. And it was exhibited 1h away from my house ( i did't know at the time. Only found out later 😬)

Great piece, saw it in Korea 10 years ago and got to hang with Ralf at the same time. He’s participating in a local biennial not far from Oslo, soon.
