Object - Interaction

Technology is getting automatized and drawing further away from human intervention each and every day. We cannot intervene with the productized versions of technology. But because of this automation, the urge to control actually controls the human itself. The purpose of these series of semi-intelligent boxes could be interpreted from this point of view as to re-examine the human-robot relationship and make their communication reciprocal. External factors other than a remote control or a robot, such as sound, light, movement and contact can work as a directive device as well.
A box that is responsive to the random factors and makes its own decisions, rather than a box that responds to every directive given by a human, can change the existing human-robot relationship. The mechanism and technology that Laylom has signifies the structure of its character. This randomly operating, unintelligent robot can get tired physically instead of responding to every request. These sorts of situations emphasize its character as well. Having been created with objects that are cheap and accessible and with semi-materials such as toy engines and containers collected from the city, Laylom alters our conventional understanding of the perfect robot and the accessibility of robot manufacturing.

The youngest of them all.
His excitement knows no boundaries.
He wants to be with his elders, and pushes forward and wants to be on the front row...
If he feels that you are approaching, or sees you moving...
He starts spinning.
Never mind his constant movement.
Don't wake him up, while he was sleeping !

He is heavy and cumbersome.
If you don't make a sound, he does not move,
His brother is the heaviest after 25 litres.
A heavy animal. Inspite of his stillness, a sound, a flutter
(A clap ) a call motives his feet .!
Love him, motivate him, push him ,
Call him and wait !

He thinks that he knows best and that he is a good guide !
Do not trust him too much, otherwise, you will be a puppet in his hands !
If you follow him diligently,
He will drag you to different roads to uncharted territories.
He moves and moves...
Even in his sleep...Like a sleep walker !

He is the quietest and the oldest...
With the maturity of being the oldest, he sits quietly in his corner.
If you hold his hand and take him for a walk,
He comes alive and with his wisdom, he lights the way.
He makes a sound that will let you know that you are approaching to the target !
He shakes and moves all the boxes on his back !
