Trash Robots—Electrofest 2022

In 2022 I had the pleasure of working with two of my amazing professors, Michael Shiloh and Kristen Muller to create a performance piece starring 5 robots made from found objects and materials. The piece was performed at the Electrofest, a show sponsored by NYUAD Arts center and NYUAD Music Program.

In addition to minor work on many of the robots, My main contribution was the creation of a robot that used a single 3-phase electric motor to vibrate a piece of sheet metal at various frequencies to produce a range of interesting sounds.

The first video is a rehearsal performed in the theater space. The final Piece lasted around 15 minutes.

The other videos run through some of my development process
