Equilibrium (EQ), Bob Romkes
Digital sketch
In an industry where new technology and automated systems replace craftsmanship, the objects demand an alternative emotional quality, to move from a product to an experience in your own personal perception.
My concept ___Equilibrium_ aims to emphasise and strengthen the continuing relationship we develop with the object, where recognition and mutual needs provide a feeling of loyalty and companionship. Sensory perception and interaction through artificial intelligence stimulate the imagination, making the vehicle ‘come to life’ by partly generating the illusion of a personality.
