(Un)wanted Guests
2025
(Un)wanted Guests is a collection of soft robots, each crafted with a unique personality and tool that influences their behavior and interactions. These guests create a variety of experiences: welcoming, unexpected, or even subtly unsettling—inviting individuals to connect with the one that feels most resonant. Located near the front door, these robots activate with the door's movement, turning this transitional space into a playful moment. The front door becomes a site of shared absurdity, offering a pause to step out of routine and engage with housemates in a shared experience. In the image on the right, you can meet Sasha Loquace, the chatterbox. Always ready to drop the most useless, outdated fun facts no one asked for. The kind of friend you grow weirdly attached to, despite knowing you'll get random trivia about 18th-century spoons mid-conversation.
