What do we always look at, but never fully understand? Ourselves.
The ability of self-awareness is the foundation to justify human existence and actions. The experiment Narciss embodies the first robot, asking itself the same question. "What am I?"

We build a robot that uses AI to continuously search for its identity. It consists of a naked robot with a camera head - placed in front of a mirror. Hence, the robot is only able to analyse its own body. It then uses a Machine Learning Algorithm to translate the impressions into lyrical guesses.
The project "Narciss" is the result of 2 years of artistic research and development and illustrates our vision to narrate poetic and sustainable discussions based upon evolving technologies.
