De Germination Munus Machinale Artis

Germinatio est instrumentum artis immersivum quod brachium roboticum industriale, lumina et plantas coniungit. Brachium roboticum tamquam germen chorographice fingitur quod post tempus quietis e terra oritur. Fasciae LED radices formant et lumen praebent quod tamquam nutrimentum apparet. Globus lucidus in summo brachio collocatur et tamquam vivus regitur. Proiectio mappata scaenae adhibetur, quae ex artificiis et elementis naturalibus composita est. Spectaculum trium minutarum finitur cum radii solis e nubibus fulgent et germen floret.

Fasciculus Nuntii

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: 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.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: Width 3m x Depth 3m x Height 2m
Notulae: robot, installation, art, immersive, contemporary, projectionmapping, led, TouchDesigner
Technologia Productionis: 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.
Provocatio Designandi: We took many processes to realize our installation.
To send a command to control an industrial robot arm remotely, we developed a communication system. Maximum payload was 10kg but we had to take care of moment.
And we designed attachment equipment specifically for this robot arm. We collaborated with a startup company to solve these problems and eventually developed a show control system that everyone can easily use.

Inspiratio: 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.
Duratio Operis: The project started in April 2021 in Tokyo, and was exhibited in Go Tech, Tokyo in March 2022.
Cursus Operationis: 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.
