Abstract
(Artwork) Giant bug zapper synchronised with 2 channel video, small robot car, sound, construction materials, electronics.
Reacting with either programmed hostility or affirmation via neutrality – either eradicating those deemed an inconvenience or a threat, or allowing those deemed safe to pass – a chain communication occurs within “User-Friendly”. Exploring terrain mapping technologies and devices used to eradicate “undesirable” natural phenomena “inputs” displayed upon the screen pass through a programmed analysis that favours the human travellers, resulting in a suitable response from a giant bug zapper followed by an autonomous vehicle. The sheer commonality of these technologies has resulted in a user friendly yet sterile environment, taking the form of a pervasive wave of cold artificial light, digital beeping and motor-based whirring.
