Katrin Hochschuh & Adam Donovan: CURIOUS TAUTOPHONE – TENSOR FIELD ONTOLOGY

This robotic installation with responsive projection is as much an apparatus of art as it is a tool for music and an instrument of psychology and physics. Tautophone is a reference to the projective “auditory Rorschach” tests developed by psychologists Skinner, Rosenzweig, and Shakow in the 1930s and 1940s, while Curious here refers to the robot's motivation to explore its surroundings and to learn.

Katrin Hochschuh & Adam Donovan: CURIOUS TAUTOPHONE – TENSOR FIELD ONTOLOGY

Robotická instalace s responzivní projekcí umělecké dvojice Katrin Hochschuh a Adam Donovan je stejně tak uměleckým aparátem jako nástrojem pro hudbu nebo prostředkem psychologie a fyziky. Tautophone zde odkazuje na projektivní “sluchový Rorschachův” test vyvinutý psychology Skinnerem, Rosenzweigem a Shakowem ve 30. a 40. letech 20. století, zatímco Curious (zvědavý) označuje motivaci robota zkoumat své okolí a učit se. Úkolem Curious Tautophone, který odráží lidskou schopnost pociťovat vazbu k neživým objektům, je rekalibrovat kognitivní tkáň, jenž spojuje člověka a stroj.
