Olimpia & Vivian Heimlich

I created this sculpture during the Artist in Residence Program at MAC (Contemporary Art Museum Gas Natural Fenosa A Coruña). Residencias MAC 2013.
Olimpia & Vivian Heimlich is an interactive sculpture that responds to the proximity of the public with feelings.
She starts to breathe when someone gets near and gets excited when they get even closer.
An automaton with two motion sensors that works with arduino tecnology.
The electronic and mecanical system was designed in collaboration with
Salvador Gutierrez de la Concha.
The tittle is based on Sinister on Psichoanalysis Essay by Sigmud Freud (1919).
