MFA THESIS PROJECTS ON DISPLAY INCLUDE:
Replication of System
AnnMarie Cernoch, Ratko Jagodic
2008

Replication of System is a computer-based interactive sculpture inspired by intercellular communication in the brain. Sound and vibration detected by cardioid and wall-mounted microphones in the sculpture’s environment provide the stimuli for its movement and illumination.

BendyBots
AnnMarie Cernoch, Ratko Jagodic

BendyBots is a collection of twenty animatronic objects inspired by oceanic plant life. An electroluminescent wire illuminates each object, made of plastic and monofilament fishing line. A flexinol™-based pulley system makes the BendyBots sway gently in an invisible underwater current.
