The Other is a soft robot made from silicone. Born of negative 3D scans of human body parts, its silhouette reflects our own contours while veiling them in uncanny unfamilarity. A pneumatic system modulates inlet and outlet flows across 13 chambers, choreographing subtle, breath-like shifts that convey relaxed, affectionate, seductive, aroused, or rejecting moods. 

The Other fuses the organic and the artificial: not to rediscover nature, nor to glorify technology. But to reveal how these seemingly opposing concepts coexist – not in contradiction – but in constant simultaneity. This tension becomes the catalyst for embracing a posthumanist perspective.

The Other is the embodied narrative of my master thesis Eroticism Beyond Human. If you want to see The Other alive, click here. If you want to see how The Other came to live, click here.
