A film puzzle
A flock of birds moves over the casings of the robots. The projector underneath their transparent, artificial skin makes this possible. The projector throws films and pictures on to their surfaces. Sometimes all the robots show the same motif and at other times they form themselves into six sub-groups showing different pictures. They re-group again and again like a big puzzle. The visitors are in the middle of the action and influence the course of the show.

If a robot is separated from its flock by the visitors for longer than two and a half minutes, it joins another group and shows their pictures. In a chain-reaction, all the groups now rearrange their pictures.

With their films, the robots tell stories about the changing of the world through the media and computer networks . The theme of these stories is the building of nerve cells as the prototype of networking or visions of the future information society.

Thus the exhibition provokes the visitor into thinking about the opportunities and dangers of the new methods of communication. It is, at the same time, an amusing game for both young and old.
