THE FOND (OR FEARSOME) ROBOTS THAT HAVE WON IN FUTURISTIC CINEMA
El Diario
“‘ NESL ‘ , an American short film, has risen as the winner in the category Real Robots. Disregarding dialogues, the work shows the beautiful interaction between different non-human agents: machines and minerals. Two automata, equipped with a sort of eye and some tweezers, interact in the formation of crystals that is taking place in the white landscape that they inhabit.”
125 YEARS: DREXEL & THE CITY: MORE THAN A RETROSPECTIVE
Broad Street Review
“The most fascinating and advanced installation is a film loop depicting a “habitat for non-humanity,” from the Design Futures Lab. It features NESL – Nurturing Emergent Synthetic Life -- and demonstrates a dynamic environment that supports the growth of mineral-based crystals and is inhabited by robotic creatures. The film shows the interaction among changing terrain, robots, and crystals, which flourish in shapes and colors to equal any botanical garden. It is a mesmerizing and surreal take on the future.
