Readwrite is a
10m long spatial robot with 24 rotating
elements. Motion sequences on Readwrite are
triggered by incomming "Muon" particles. Muons
are terrestrial Cosmic Rays generated in the
upper atmosphere by interactions with
high-energy particles which originate from
distant supernovae and supermassive black
holes in active galactic nuclei. Readwrite
has four Muon detectors - one at each
corner. When a Cosmic Ray is detected, a wave
motion sequence is triggered from that point.
Readwrite is installed on
the NEXTDC Data Centre in Malaga, Western
Australia.
