The Robot Group in a collaborative effort produced an installation entitled
"Berzerkwerks" which was on display during the month of August of 1991, at the
Austin Children's Museum. The work consisted of various computerized kinetic sculptures interactively controlled by a central computer through a video input device. The observer's moving image was dynamically captured by a video digitizer, and mixed with computer graphics; interaction of the captured image with the computer graphic objects controlled the behavior of the sculptures. The combined image was then projected onto a large screen. In addition several of The Robot Group members participate in a yearly Bezerkwerks outing now called Jump Start. The program is taken to local elementary schools in "at risk" areas. These shows are very popular with the kids. By encouraging these youth to be interested in science at a young age, we hope to help them stay interested in school. Who knows the next Einstein could be right in our backyard.
