Bjoern Schuelke's Observer #2, a giant three-legged robot-like menacing structure, dominates the space it occupies. It seems to sense the spectators presence and starts observing: moving around its own axis, switching on its flashing lights, reviewing the images shot during its 360° pans .
At once simple in its propellor-induced speed and complex in its registration of sound and image, its apparently observational functions give rise to an uncanny feeling with elements of paranoia and apprehension. But it is foremost an artful relative of the robots: one who combines strict technological functionalism with creative playfulness.
