About:
A sensorial robot inspired by the growth of trees’ annual rings. Weather changes of its surroundings are recorded as changing lines in the drawing.
The machine sensitively responds to changes of light, wind, temperature, humidity, and sound. It is an exploration into the programmable smallest building blocks that make up complex natural phenomena, and discovering machines’ capacities on emulating nature.

The navigation of the robot is done by following the edge of its own line.
And it draws that line further as it goes:
