Firefly 2.0 at Crest Hardware
Firefly 2.0 is an artbot informed by DIY aesthetics. The work made out of upcycled materials skitters unpredictably while flashing a large blue led. In a whimsical manner it harkens back to wonderful summertime childhood experiences collecting bugs. The artbot based on BEAM robotic technology (using simple analog circuits), was inspired by the idea of the emergence of new living forms from the wastes of older ones. As the wastes become more complex, including structural elements, electronic components and power sources a potential exists for new biomimetic forms to arise in a new taxonomic class that scavenges and builds on the waste of its predecessors.
