"Proto" is the prototype for a series of solar-powered robotic mobiles which generate their own motion and sounds. This piece is built from ultra-lightweight carbon fiber tubing and solid carbon fiber rods, and uses servo motors and a propeller to move itself about. The tiny sounds it makes reflect its thought process and energy state.
"Proto" will be on display through December and into January at the 911 Gallery in Seattle WA, as part of the "People Doing Strange Things With Electricity" show.
