Lipstick Enigma is a computer-driven sentence-generator made by Janet Zweig. The sculpture is made of 1200 resin lipsticks powered by 1200 stepper motors, controlled by 60 circuit boards. The software invents and writes a new line of text, using rules and a lexicon written by the artist, and displays it on the sign when triggered by a motion detector.

This was a NASA experiment on robotic learning. This example is for the robot to learn distance, whether something is within or out of reach. The process is taking through generation learning.

BLOWmaker is anOther project of the Robotic Interfaces elective that aA : Daniel Dendra is teaching at DIA Dessau (Bauhaus). Claudia, Alex and Cosmos created a responsive surface prototype that “blows up” a ballon like structure once the proximity of a person is detected. A more elaborate version could use several sensors and fans to detect the exact position of people and create various shapes accordingly.
Imagine a room filled with BLOWmakers that hug you, catch you, release you, play with you.
