The Senster

Edward Ihnatowicz was a Cybernetic Sculptor active in the UK in the late 1960's and early 1970's. His ground-breaking sculptures explored the interaction between his robotic works and the audience, and reached their height with The Senster, a large (15 feet long), hydraulic robot commissioned by the electronics giant, Philips, in Eindhoven in 1970. The sculpture used sound and movement sensors to react to the behaviour of the visitors. It was one of the first computer controlled interactive robotic works of art.

For this movie i was searching so long.. I'm born in eindhoven and i was 5 years old when i saw this wonderful piece of technique for the first time in the Evoluon. I can remember that it was a bit scary too and sometimes it made a frightening sound.. thanks for posting this unique little movie!
