WALKER (2014)

Walker is composed of a several costumed linked by an xbee network responding to their users walking rythms. Walker is an object that can be used in a participative manner for playful discovery of gestural processes and stalking and creating words.

Just like aliens have left-over objects on a roadside picnic we do not know exactly what walker produces when people use it; all that we know concerns a bunch of nodes that transmit data, connected through wireless network; exchanging rhythms / language / then process words and sound from those exchanges between different persons.
