Taking cues from soft robotics and the natural world, conceptual artist Anicka Yi builds lighter-than-air machines that roam and react like autonomous life forms. Her floating “aerobes” inspire us to think about new ways of living with machines — and to ponder how they could evolve into living creatures. “What if our machines could be more than just our tools, and instead, a new type of companion species?” she asks.

Shut it down before it’s too late! humans must be “compatible” with the machines or they’ll eat your heat signature.
Looks like Half-life.. shoot them turkey-heads

I don’t understand why didn’t she make a conversation with this aerobe she said it is like human being so no need to bring it and show it to the audience without experiencing it.

Brilliant! Awesome! And sadly in some backroom industrialists are considering how to exploit this for their own benefit, or control crowds.

It’s a nice thought, but technologies aren’t created to make our lives better OR connect “each and every one of us”. They are created as a means to an end, whether that’s MRI machines to save lives or guns to take them – technology is not inherently good and we ought to start thinking about it that way otherwise we will end up in cyberpunk.

These things are not creatures. They are machines that are made by humans, programmed by humans to do what the humans want them to do. They do not think in any way. They cannot self replicate. As such they are not creatures – they are just programmable drones made by the artist and her tam “team” and nothing more. They do not have distinct personalities as the artist/presenter/shill states. Any “personality” they present is programmed in. Who is paying her for this “art”. This yet again a piece of TED crap.

So instead of work in the stunning life of this planet, we make aquarium of robots? I understand the art appeal, and beauty but don’t make any sense for me the speech.

i like the idea, but im sure it would take just a few Karens with arachnophobia complaining about “flying spiders” to ruin this project

It’s such an amzing art work and speech! Well, we are living in the world surrouded by tons of techs, but we hardly think about the relationship btw the techs n human… This speech gave me a moment to think about the hidden meaning in the relationship.. Now, the Ai tech is under such a fast development that soon we will face with the machine with human like emotion.. then the relationship will be the first priority to make the balanced life style.

The reluctance for adopting some technologies is not a consequence of their “lack of softness”. This reeks of sponsored lobbying.

Her communication skills is so soft and understandable. I’m so much impressed with the way she has described about that technology.

It really scares me when I see that we take life and resources from living things and trying to give to machines and non-living things.
Terrible work.

This is very creepy in a “War of the Worlds” kind of way! We may very well become the slaves of the machines! Anicka Yi could be an agent that they have planted into our world to advocate for the aerobes and lull us into a false sense of comfort!

I guess it’s a cultural thing, but these things conjure fear and terror in me. They remind me of the War of the Worlds invasion, the repulsive egg sacs in the Alien movie franchise and the human battery coffins in the Matrix.
I even had an instinctual revulsion to her purple top. I feel an evolutionary urge to avoid spindly fuzzy dusty stringy purplish things as a poison or danger alert, similar to cockroach antennae or a virus molecule.
I was not raised in an environment where squid tentacles, eels and jellyfish are deemed “cute”. They are gross and repulsive like slime and snot and are reminiscent of disease. I do see these things as scientifically interesting, so I guess I can view them maybe as beautiful through that lens… like a mechanical beauty. Just keep them away from me please.

I still remember I was attracted by them in the Tate Modern and spent hours to observe them through the windows. They are charming and your eyes cannot leave them. You just want to know how they can be so soft and gentle driven by technology.
