Camouflagetown.tv - Whitney Museum of American Art ( Artist: Adrianne Wortzel )
Senior Project - Cooper Union

A theatrical telerobotic installation which lived in the Whitney Museum of American Art for the tenure of the exhibition Data Dynamics. Kiru, the robot, interacted both with visitors in the Whitney space and visitors on the web. The robot walked and talked autonomously, except when it was remotely controlled by visitors through the world wide web. Kiru played the role of a "cultural curmudgeon," interacting with visitors and contextualizing the exhibition through its comments on issues of "mapping" physical and virtual space and physical/virtual identity.

Worked on a team under the direction of digital media artist, Adrianne Wortzel.
