Artist Statement:

In the “Species series”, basic physics, electronics, and mechanics are combined with various digital technologies to create a robotic species. The different levels of technological complexities reflect the evolutionary histories of the robotic species. Ancient robotic species have simpler body structures and behaviors. Simple ideas and the principal technologies lead those creatures’ life. Relatively advanced technologies are gradually merged into their next generations as a result of struggles for existence and survival.
