Floribots is an
interactive installation consisting of 128
robot origami flowers with "hive mind”
characteristics. It is capable of sensing
audience movement and adapting its behaviour
accordingly. Winner of the Peoples Choice
Award, National Sculpture Prize 2005, Jury's
"Best in Show" Award and People's Choice award
at The Morris Museum 2018. Also exhibited
Perth Institute of Contemporary Art 2007,
Singapore Art Museum 2010, and Moana Chambers
2022. "Floribots presents as a social
organism, simulating behaviours that are those
of both an individual and a colony. By way of
some complex feedback cybernetics, a number of
absorbing social realities arise in the
interaction that an audience is able to
experience with the work." - from catalogue
essay by Dr Benjamin Joel.
