Robotic interactive installation.

The project is an abstract robotic model of a nematode worm, which the viewer needs to "cut" in a certain place with an RFID tag plastic card. Cutting a worm with a card, we are, as it were, conducting an experiment that is possible with some types of worms, in which cutting them, under the influence of regeneration, leads to the emergence of two independent individuals. When "cutting", a digitalized DNA and a mathematical model of the worm's nervous system are recorded on the card using a special scanner/reader placed in the worm. Thus, the worm divides not only physically, but also digitally - another copy of its DNA appears, which increases the chances of preserving the species. Visitors leave the card with this data to themselves.

On the one hand, this is an ironic installation on the topic of information copying, digital life, and bioinformatics. On the other hand, this is an uncomplicated digital and kinetic project with a non-standard form of interactivity.
