This installation at New York City's Cadillac House featured an autonomous welding robot-cum-portrait artist, vividly capturing visitors' likeness as they lined up to observe the action.

​

During the short one month development time, I coordinated closely with a team of coders, designers, and fabricators to work within the robot's mechanical capabilities to create fluid, dynamic, and animalistic movements as it performed. From this basis we designed a strong yet simple UX sequence, allowing for maximum impact while ensuring the full safety of visitors to the space.​
