Stardust Yu Gong

2025 / AI Agent-based Works / Humanoid robot, robotic arms, lighting system, projection environment

A suspended humanoid reaches toward orbital debris, and the gesture remains as inherited state.

Stardust Yu Gong places a humanoid robot above the floor, held by a large industrial arm as if drifting through an extravehicular repair. The robot does not face the audience. It faces a projected debris field.

The work stages maintenance rather than conquest. It does not claim to clear space. It builds a scene where risk, motion, resistance, and record are tied together.

When an intervention occurs, the gesture is not over. Motion, current, torque, controller state, and corridor updates are written back into persistent world-state. The next session begins with what the previous session left behind.
