Influencia is an interactive installation that investigates the nature of human social behaviours. Through the use of multiple miniature robots that visualise the exchange of values, traits, and emotions between users, it conceptualises in a physical space the way that individuals operate under the constant and determined influence of others.

 

By tracking and following multiple users around the floor, the robots represent the interaction and influence of social encounters with others. The installation opens up for simultaneous interaction between human to human, as well as human to computer, and provides an user experience that leaves room for subjective interpretation. When the interests of many users come into play simultaneously - Influencia challenges the basic premise of our intentions in a goal-oriented experience that is as unpredictable as life itself.
