About the Program
Infrasense is a two-person collaborative sound and robotic installation. Nine plastic and metal molded robotic sculptures, representing the 'Trojan Horse' electronic virus, moved slowly across the gallery space in a straight line, backwards and forwards. Three faster 'Bugs' that are remote-controlled maneuvered around the Trojan horses, as if they are trying desperately for some way to hook up to them or discover what they are carrying. Infrasense takes concepts from the digital world, renders them in physical sculptural form and then returns control of these forms to the digital landscape of the World Wide Web. The gallery that hosts the project becomes a 'carrier' of the virus, which is adaptable to changes in the location/environment and is, therefore, site specific. The resultant work plays out both on the Web and in real time. Infrasense was presented by grunt gallery in conjunction with Folly Gallery (Lancaster, UK).Identifier
