Networked Objects

For Network Objects, I created a robot that represents how it used to feel for me when something changed or didn’t go the way I wanted—something I used to struggle with a lot when i was younger.

Movement

The circles the robot moves in represent a fixed routine it lives by. When this routine is disrupted, the robot attempts to push the obstacle away, as it is not used to doing anything outside of its routine—nor does it want to.

Design choice

I chose an exterior that appears hard and unreachable, but actually isn’t. When you come closer, you’ll notice it feels quite soft. I intentionally left the front a bit more bare, because to me, being approached from the front feels less frightening than when someone suddenly places a hand on your shoulder from behind.
