a project developed for the odyssey ‘Open Rez street art project’. street-walker and street-talker will interact with visitors to odyssey’s southern plaza and try to learn to communicate with each other, by listening to, and imitating these visitors. by taking this opportunity to allow these objects to interact through the month of october, and through close observation of their behaviors, and visitors reaction to them, it is anticipated that subsequent generations of these objects can be developed with increasing complexity, and autonomy.
