LEGAMI
Robot Art Installation
Luigi Pagliarini & Mr. BD

The LEGAMI (meaning: bonds/links/ties/liaisons/relationships) Robot Art 
Installation presents itself as a somehow naive and ironical art piece 
that, at the same, explore different meanings, and in particular invokes
an adequate reflection on the existing relationship amongst human being, 
technology and nature. 
The authors, starting from the use of âFatherboard, The Superavatarâ - 
a cyborg-similar costume, based on the Modular Wearable Robotics 
technology and originally thought for performances â build up a 
robot-cyclist engaged in as extreme as paradoxical ecological action: 
keeping a small plant alive throughout an incredibly sophisticated 
technological apparatus.
The installation, in part a quotation of the memorable Disney's movie 
Wall-e, evidently, embodies many different present topics like the 
sustainability of technological development, humans mobility, the concept 
of resilience and so on. 
Within the Museum of Science of Naples and the FuturoRemoto Exhibit - 
that this year is devoted to modern robotics - you will find the LEGAMI 
installation right at the entrance.
