“Robot, Doing Nothing” visual

A project that I came across that I find interesting is “Robot, Doing Nothing” by Emmanuel Gollob and Johannes Braumann. What I found intriguing about this project is that it was conducted all in the time in which Gollob and Braumann were doing nothing. I feel that this demonstrates that even when someone is doing nothing, their brain is still active and formulating new ideas and projects to work on. Nevertheless, looking at the project itself fascinated me. There was nothing particularly complicated or complex about what is going on, however I found myself being relaxed my what I was watching. The slow rotations of the machine as well as the different colored strings made what I was watching very soothing. I could see this technology being used in the future in calm settings in which someone goes to relax. I can see many therapeutic applications with this machinery that can be used to reduce anxiety and stress.
