project description:

This Canadian artist will develop a tactile object which physically interacts with the audience. Resembling a blanket, the device will navigate through space seeking out individuals for intimate encounters. The object is embedded with electronics and machinery to enable sensing and movement. The resulting form is a hybrid toy,sculpture and tool. Like other computer systems, a blanket may be networked to other devices, in this case to exchange touch between remote users.

biography:

Nicholas Stedman is a young artist using electronics to sense and impact space and objects. He has developed telematic machines, wearable computing devices, and various sound and video controllers. His current interest is in autonomous robotic systems that use movement to reflect the structures they interact with. Nicholas is interested in developing relationships with artists and institutions.
