Robot Animations for

”Who Am I”

     Project Type: Immersive Performance / Robotic Art / Motion Design 

Materials: Kuka Robotic Arm, Props, Projections, DMX Lighting

Keywords: Digital Self Perception, Human-Computer Interaction, Realtime Identity



“Who Am I” is a performance investigating identity as narrative in a Phoenix-like perspective, from its affirmation to its annihilation and then intrinsically resurging as something entirely new.

As part of an extended collaboration , Sebastian Comanescu worked with H3’s Andrei Mitiso on developing the robotic coreography for three representative sequences that which laid the basis for the final motion of the robotic arm during the performance.




The project takes the myth of Pygmalion as a starting point and investigates the relationship between creator/creation and their perception in a world of AI. Who Am I? is based on the interaction between human and robot, by mirroring the relationship between natural and artificial as a deep meditation on human nature.
