Lisbon Art - Modern art Fair

Leonel Moura with IdMind presents a new Robot in Lisbon Art.

iSculpture (Intelligent Sculpture) is a work of art capable of detecting the presence of spectators, getting closer and interacting with then in a way that defines their bodies dimension. iSculpture reverses the traditional relation between spectator and art: in this case is the work of art that observes and the spectator that is observed.
