About Germination 아트 인스톨레이션
'발아(Germination)'는 산업용 로봇 팔과 조명, 식물을 결합한 몰입형 아트 인스톨레이션이다. 로봇 팔은 휴면기를 거친 후 땅에서 싹트는 새싹의 움직임으로 안무되어 있다. LED 스트립은 뿌리를 형성하며 양분처럼 보이는 빛을 공급한다. 팔 상단에는 조명 구체가 장착되어 마치 살아 있는 듯 제어된다. 인공물과 자연 요소로 구성된 무대에는 프로젝션 매핑이 적용된다. 3분 길이의 쇼는 구름 사이로 햇살이 비치고 새싹이 꽃을 피우며 막을 내린다.

- Unique Properties
- Germination is an immersive installation which features an industrial robot arm and lighting and plants.
A robot arm is choreographed as a sprout which germinates from the ground after a period of dormancy.
At the beginning of the show, it absorbs nourishment from its LED roots and gradually starts to germinate. And after raining and thundering, it sways in the wind. Rays of sunlight shines from clouds and eventually it will bloom. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 3m x Depth 3m x Height 2m

- Production Technology
- Many processes were taken to realize this installation.
To send a command to control an industrial robot arm remotely, a communication system was developed. The robot arm’s maximum payload was 10kg but moment had to be taken care of.
And an attachment equipment was needed specifically for this robot arm. Wing Robotics, a startup company helped the project to solve these problems and eventually a show control system was developed that everyone can easily use. - Design Challenge

Fanuc - Inspiration
- This installation was created with a wish that it is going back to a normal and peaceful world soon and people germinate from constraint and eventually bloom again.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2021 in Tokyo, and was exhibited in Go Tech, Tokyo in March 2022.
- Operation Flow
- The show was run by a control system which has a straight forward UI. It can start a robot arm, sound, LED lighting simultaneously. Also it is possible to simulate how everything works on a preview window. The show is 3 minutes long but it can be operated by one person to click a button to start it.
