Diller + Scofidio's Mural at the Whitney
  Collaborations

The Following projects are a selection of the collaborations Robot Clothes has undertaken with renowned artists, engineers, architest and designers.

Mural is a 16 foot tall robotic drill that operated autonomously for 90 days on 330 feet of track as the featured work in the Diller + Scofidio retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, 2003. The intent of the artist was to destroy the curatorial restrictions implied by the walls of an exhibit. The robot drilled over 500,000 holes during its run, including a pattern drilled into another work in the exhibit entitled, The MOMA Wall. All Mural photos by Michael Moran and video footage by Diller + Scofidio

Mural was a collaboration between Diller + Scofidio and Honeybee Robotics.James Powderly co-designed Mural with Paul Bartlett and Dan Mathews, focusing on the control and software.

Learning to Love You More was installed in the elevator for Miranda July & Harrell Fletcher's exhibit for the Whitney Biennial. As the elevator ascended, choral music played and crescendoed as the elevator reached its destination. James Powderly designed the elevator control and audio playback system

Natural Car Alarms was a collaboration of James Powderly and artist Nina Katchadourian to make a car alarm that played sequenced MP3 bird sounds.

Livilette was a 3D project exhibited by Jean-Marc Gauthier at the Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris. James Powderly developed a wireless controller that allows visitors to control 3D animated characters on their journey through a 3D virtual world.
