Robots are designed to play a significant role in everyday life as technological cohabitants. 
People tend to attribute human characteristic to the robots and face them as living organisms. 
Based on the ideas of cyborg and animism, we don’t understand robots as mere tools, but as creative entities, capable of expanding the role they are given by their human creators. 

TIRESIAS is a non-anthropomorphic entity that moves naturally trying to develop an equal dynamic partnership with the human co-performer. The work is based on the blind prophet Tiresias, who creates his own identities, escaping the distinctions of man and woman. Tiresias is a blind figure from the Greek mythology, who can ‘see’ into oneself and find self-knowledge. TIRESIAS explores the ways in which we can avoid dualities of human and non-human entities and find new interesting relationships between different actors.

This installation speaks from the side of a tentacular machine. Tentacular beings explore the world and their self through touch. But the palm has not the means of covering the whole of the truth. The sensory perceptions can lead to misinterpretations, as there are various aspects of truth and limited sensory experience. 

TIRESIAS is a self-actualising machine that tries to understand the properties of itself. The knowledge that TIRESIAS infers is reflected in the environment in the form of sound-waves as an approach to materialise the machines’ perception about itself.
