I am an artist who builds animal robots that are a hodge-podge of what animals are like and what we think they are like. The robots often try to tell things to the animals using the animals’ own signals and ways of communicating. In turn, they are sensitive to the messages the animals are sending. The robots exist in landscapes at all scales, from the wide expanse of the Arctic tundra to the floor of my bathroom shower stall.
