Robot Rock

Örebro is a small city in Sweden with a nice city centre, with the old castle surrounded by a small river being the icon of this area, but it’s relatively dull and has a lot of unused potential.
We proposed two robotic sculptures that take care of two neglected places. A tall and energetic sculpture at a renewed square that activates the place with sounds, lights and so on.
A more tranquil sculpture is placed in the water inside a new pool so the people can swim in the river without being taken away by the strong currents. This calm contemplating place will contrast sharply to the more bustling square.

The nearby cultural institutions at Götaplatsen, the most prominent square in Gothenburg, wanted a box office to reach more people and to vitalize the square.

Instead of the ordinary cube to be placed somewhere in the solemn square, a bunch of robots will do the job instead.
They work in ten hour shifts and then roam the streets of Gothenburg in their spare time to interact with the people.
This will activate the square, sell more tickets and be a lot more of fun.
