Seeker [ES5] video |
Seeker [ES5] was built during GOGBOT 2014, an annual festival of art, technology and music, that has been organized in Enschede since 2004. A regional team of about 30 artists, designers, architects, biologists, mechanical engineers, game designers, software developers worked on this Seeker. In the architectural approach for Seeker [ES5] the Seeker [EH3] project from MADlab was used as a departure point. The goal was to expand this structure vertically using ‘prefabricated’ units such as caravans (and containers). Seeker’s multiple caravans can be connected in different orientations, inspired by diverse sources such as existing space station concepts, Luc Deleu’s container art, and the Metabolists. The highlight of the project was an isolation experiment during GOGBOT. Seeker [ES5] housed a team that stayed in a closed environment that provided its own energy, water and food. Communication and Monitoring from the inside out was established by cameras, body-sensoring, Virtual Reality and other experimental video. Every day an Extra-Vehicular-Activity took place.
