Aparna Rao combines interesting technology with interactive, sculptural artworks that mimic many of our own human characteristics. The piece called “The Pygmies”, created an environment where people would engage with these mischievous like creatures that would react to sound. What I found most interesting was that at some point your forget the technology and focus on the human emotional experience your having. I also think that as technology advances, so will the need to create pieces just like this that will become more engaging on a emotional level.
Another piece in this video looked like an upside down man and acted on the human emotion of wanting to help someone before they fall. As the object almost topples to the ground , you try to quickly catch it but the object pops back up into place. Being in video production, I can see how it would be interesting to try the invisible camera experiment. There are so many different ways you could use this in a fictional story or even a commercial. The biggest takeaway from this is that the lines between technology and technology’s ability to connect on a human level are getting much closer.
