The visitor is subsumed into the artificially produced \u00c2\u00bbbiosphere\u00c2\u00ab through active sensor-based interaction. Pufination is incomplete without interaction. There&#8217;s no leading role, we&#8217;re all just cohabiting. The project thus highlights our relationship to other life as an important factor to every individual&#8217;s own survival. In Pufination, we find ourselves inside a simulated projection of our everyday. Decentralised control, close stimulus response and adherence to simple rules \u00e2\u20ac\u201c this is what links robots and visitors in the Pufination.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Pufi robots are based on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arduino.cc\" title=\"Arduino\" rel=\"homepage\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"zem_slink\">Arduino<\/a> platform.
