user-friendly (2019)

Giant bug zapper synchronised with 2 channel video, small robot car, sound, construction materials, electronics, looped and generative sound.

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.
