Urs Fischer's office chairs dance playfully adopting human behaviors
Contemporary visual artist Urs Fischer invites viewers to engage and interact with his kinetic AI installation of nine vibrant office chairs on wheels, dubbed ‘PLAY’. Meandering freely in a vast empty hall at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the chairs encourage the spectator to come closer and explore their unexpected behavior. The installation employs human anticipation as a tool; people observe or interact and the chairs, in turn, become participants. On approaching the items, the five-legged objects react as different personalities: one may move away and try to hide in the corner, another may speed towards you, or simply stay still, ignoring your presence altogether.
