Terrain_01 is the first version of a series of solar robot installations which were created between 1992 and 1997 with the Otherspace group. The radical hybridisation of “artistic engineering” and “engineering art” resulted in very specific artistic and technological approaches, ideas, problem definitions and solutions. Terrain_01 explores the paradoxical situation of an observer who is simultaneously part of the observed system. This creates a scenario in which dynamic feedback is relayed between perception, thought, the perceived environment, the observer and the observed.
