solar powered robotic artworks

The mobiles use solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity, powering microprocessors and motors to make sounds and to animate themselves in improvisational ways. Wireless communication allows the emergence of group behaviors in larger numbers of critters. Click on the images to view some of the works.
