Tweenbots depend on the kindness of strangers

Ninja April 15th, 2009

tweenbots-depend-on-the-kindness-of-strangers

Tweenbots is social experiment designed by Kacie Kinzer from the Tisch School of the Arts in New York. This little, cardboard robot travels at a constant speed in a straight line and his goal is get from the North-east of Washington Square Park to the South-west corner. He can only reach his destination with the kindness and aid of New York pedestrians.

The journey the Tweenbots take each time they are released in the city becomes a story of people’s willingness to engage with a creature that mirrors human characteristics of vulnerability, of being lost, and of having intention without the means of achieving its goal alone. As each encounter with a helpful pedestrian takes the robot one step closer to attaining it’s destination, the significance of our random discoveries and individual actions accumulates into a story about a vast space made small by an even smaller robot.


Mission 1: Get from the Northeast to the Southwest Corner of Washington Square Park / time: 42 minutes / number of people who intervened: 29

Tron is a great movie and the filmmakers did an excellent job of sweding the light cycle scene. If I remember correctly, it’s shot for shot the same as the original.
