Sisyphus The robot hovers above the ground creating soft landscapes and gentle patterns by depositing sand. Once the tank is empty, the robot collects the sand back into the tank, thus being caught in an endless cycle of construction and deconstruction.
Robotic Cosmogony A particle suspended in space and two robotic arms mounted on the ceiling. Mul- tiple audio signals at 40 kHz are used in and out of phase to create a point in mid-air in which objects can be suspended. Each robot is equipped with this acoustic levitation device that allows it to pick up the particle and maneuver it through space without physical contact.
