Stick to resist – autonomous
version
(video : Suburb Train, video document 02’28’’, Paris, 2004)
Electro-magnet, battery, keypad, electro-luminescent diodes, battery charger,
practical carrying case / la BF15, Lyon, France, 2004
The autonomous version is made up of a high-capacity (300 kilo) electro-magnet
with a degree of relative autonomy enabling it to be installed in public spaces
on metallic surfaces such as the Eiffel Tower. The robot is equipped with an electronic signature, enabling its user to activate
and deactivate the magnet. Without the personal identification number, it is
impossible to remove the magnet once solidly installed in a public space. When
activated, a countdown shows the battery-life, suggestive of a time bomb; far
from being the case, when the countdown ends, the electromagnet falls to the
ground. Stick to resist is a functional robot, equipped with a certain degree
of autonomy, a battery and a memory. The electromagnet is an electrical resistor,
by resisting, the device makes its presence felt and stands solidly by its own.
