Whether you love or can`t stand it, a robot that tickles sure is intriguing. People are lining up for stroking sessions at Bowery / Bouwerij , a house where you will temporarily lose access to all your mobile telecommunication devices. Ah, the luxury of silence and care.
“We wanted to create an autonomous organism rather than a machine. It`s a matter of what makes people comfortable. Installing this work in an actual house makes it easier for people to take part and to imagine it in the bedroom of their own home. People are relaxed, even if others are watching them.“
