“Phobos” é um conjunto de pequenos robots e dispositivos de geração automática de música que se agregam numa Orquestra Robótica Disfuncional.
“Phobos” is a group of small robots and music-making devices which have gathered together to form the Dysfunctional Robotic Orchestra, a collection of strange instruments with defects, genetic mutations, and odd behaviours. “Phobos” is a critique of how technology has been superimposed over human thought and how work and modern forms of slavery function. It is also a historical retrospective of the various attempts at human freedom through machines, technological utopias, and the advances and setbacks of freedom.
