"Topiary Cat"
Robotic installation for garden - 2017
It is featuring a robotic cat with a vegetal coat that seems to melt into the garden. Around him a little electronic green mouse is running in reference to the popular, but no less strange, nursery rhymes. The cat seems nailed to the ground like a plant, unable to pursue the small rodent who looks like enjoying it. The device is activated as the viewer approaches. The mouse makes three short tours, then turns around before grinding to a halt. After creating Animal/Robot hybrids France Cadet imagines some "Plantimals", some Plant/Animal hybrid robots. |
