HAUSTRUM HAUSTORIUM

Post-Organic Bauplan works by mixing up dance and robotics from an experimental perspective. Taking inspiration from biological science and concepts based on processes found in nature, POB uses dance & robotics as tools to rethink the human body and the social constructs around the idea of what is considered natural and what is not.

Haustrum Haustorium plays at this very edge, where the biological meets the mechanical, and where new possibilities of connection emerge. In Haustrum Haustorium, the relationship between human and robot transcends mere interaction-it becomes parasitic, symbiotic. Each entity shapes the other, altering their movement and existence in profound ways. Haustrum Haustorium investigates somatic possibilities that interaction with robots can open up.

HAUSTRUM HAUSTORIUM will feature a new generation of robotic prostheses with suction mechanisms. For a long time we wanted to find a new method of connection between the robot’s and the performer’s body. We turned for inspiration to organisms like leeches, octopuses, parasites, and certain plants, such as haustorium plants, which have in their morphology very effective mechanisms of connection mostly via vacuum systems. Following this idea, we have created our first prototypes of vacuum bells that are implemented in our new generation of robotic prostheses combining techniques of soft robotics with pneumatics and 3D printed pieces.
