LYM is an international production of creative technologies, combining global trends and its own unique developments. At this year’s NUR festival it will be presented by its creative director and media artist Nadine Zakharova, as well as the LYM ART and LYM Robotics teams. Together with them Dmitry Masaidov — media artist, robochoreographer and programmer — is working on the upcoming installation.
Antifragility will show the subtle moment of the birth of an idea as a tension between two poles. Like the electrodes of an induction coil, two robotic manipulators will hold the balance while a spark of thought is born on the threads between them.
In order for it to flare up, the robots must move with extreme precision, maintaining strict distance and tension on the threads. Any failure will immediately lead to the destruction of the form — and thus the loss of thought. But the paradox is that the fragility of the system makes it antifragile: the robots are constantly adapting, tracking each other, adjusting their movements and keeping their balance so that the idea generation process is not interrupted.
