RSSMaster of Connected Puppets
A "connected" puppet. That is, exploring the range of controlled behavior via automata. Combining electronics with exploration in social rituals, transmitted agression studies, robots breaking stuff and the role of mechanical distance in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can be quite confusing. Luckily enough, the end product was a robot powered by manual force-input that smashed things- in this case crackers. The robot was designed and prototyped for fun as well as an exploration in how to explore social issues, in this case that cathartic joy we get when we break things, through toys and technology.
