Crawler is one of a series of works created by Philippe Parreno for his solo exhibition 'Voices' at Haus der Kunst, Munich in December 2024. This series features three kinetic sculptures inspired by W. Grey Walter’s early robots, designed to explore brain electrical activity. Each sculpture consists of a unique object moving vertically along a straight track. The objects vary in shapes and sizes, with each containing its own engine and brain system. The distinctive feature of these sculptures is their glass shell exteriors, crafted in the form of masks using either blown or cast glass techniques. As the objects travel up and down their tracks at varying speeds, they create a dynamic visual display. The movement is complemented by integrated bulbs that flash with changing intensity and colors. These light variations are not random but respond to received data, likely from sensors or programmed inputs.
