Inspired by the creation mythology of the Popol Vuh, Gaetano-Adi will create the work called TZ'IJK, the Mayan word for mud, using a pre-colonial South American construction technique called "Quincha." The work consists of seven giant spherical autonomous robotic agents with an external shell of dried mud.
"Robots raise intriguing cultural questions about our 'humanness' that seem to engage not only philosophers, scientists and technologists, but also artists." Gaetano-Adi says.
