Stelarc Articulated Head

Notes:

The Articulated Head is an interactive robot-art installation created by performance artist Stelarc. It is a robotic system that is designed to model the behavior of an “active listener” during interaction with other humans. The Articulated Head is part of Stelarc’s ongoing exploration of the body as an interface and the use of technology to alter and extend the body’s capabilities. It is intended to be a significant work within Stelarc’s artistic practice.
