“Crawler is about intentional and unintentional self-imposed mental and physical limitations; in what ways do we restrict

ourselves from becoming who and what we want to be?”

Greg Schenk

DESCRIPTION:

"Greg Schenk’s Crawler is a robot with prosthetic hands and a video screen of moving eyes for a face.
The robot’s video screen face is short and wide. It is attached to a metal rod and mounted on top of the center frame. The screen shows a pair of eyes and eyebrows. These eyes blink and dart from side to side and up and down.
The robot has two motorized metal rods attached to a rectangular frame. These rods act as its arms. At the end of each arm is a prosthetic human hand, complete with pores and wrinkles. The hands are made of a light blue rubbery material. They seem like surgical or protective gloves. The hands reach out and drag the robot around in a jerky circle. The entire crawler moves around on a 5 foot square platform.
Can you hear it move?" -A. Laura Brody
