Robots are designed to play a significant role in everyday life as technological cohabitants.
People tend to attribute human characteristic to the robots and face them as living organisms.
Based on the ideas of cyborg and animism, we don’t understand robots as mere tools, but as creative entities, capable of expanding the role they are given by their human creators.
TIRESIAS is a non-anthropomorphic entity that moves naturally trying to develop an equal dynamic partnership with the human co-performer. The work is based on the blind prophet Tiresias, who creates his own identities, escaping the distinctions of man and woman. TIRESIAS explores the ways in which we can avoid dualities of human and non-human entities and find new interesting relationships between different actors.
