Double-Taker (Snout)
Double-Taker (Snout) by Golan Levin was created for the Robot 250 Festival in Pittsburgh. I really like how it is programmed to make “double takes” of the people passing by. I wonder if I can get a giant robotic Snout for the top of my house?
“Double-Taker (Snout)” (interactive installation, 2008) deals in a whimsical manner with the themes of trans-species eye contact, gestural choreography, subjecthood, and autonomous surveillance. The project consists of an eight-foot (2.5m) long industrial robot arm, costumed to resemble an enormous inchworm or elephant’s trunk, which responds in unexpected ways to the presence and movements of people in its vicinity. Sited on a low roof above a museum entrance, and governed by a real-time machine vision algorithm, Double-Taker (Snout) orients itself towards passers-by, tracking their bodies and suggesting an intelligent awareness of their activities.
