Symbiosis of Agents
A machine ecology gathers around a tree, where robotic arms, quadrupeds, fog, screens, mirrors, and viewer presence begin to behave as one world.
Symbiosis of Agents places robotic bodies inside an atmospheric environment rather than on a stage. The work is built around a fragile tree, reflective architecture, moving machines, fog, light, and screens that suggest a terraforming scene in progress.
The viewer does not meet a single robot. They enter a field of coordinated activity. Arms adjust, quadrupeds move through the space, screens carry speculative landscapes, and the room shifts through light and haze.
The work asks how artificial agents might become part of a future social structure. Its fiction of planetary migration also turns machine labor into an ethical question: who designs the world, who carries the work, and who inherits its consequences?
