Elusive — a concept piece featuring an anthropomorphic robot head that explores the perception of technology through the visual language of form.
The project is based on a juxtaposition: the void and transparency of the robot versus the fullness and integrity of the human. The lack of «internal substance» transforms the form into a suggestion, creating a sense of fragility and vulnerability.
Transparency functions as a key technique, diminishing the feeling of threat and making the object visually open and safe for interaction. The robot is perceived not as a complex, closed system, but as an understandable and almost immaterial artifact.
The stylistic approach is inspired by the aesthetics of Frutiger Aero—with its characteristic purity, light, and glossy utopianism. Referencing retrospective visual codes enhances the object’s emotional accessibility and fosters a warmer, more trusting perception of technology.
Elusive proposes an alternative vision of robotics—one that is light, transparent, and emotionally resonant with humanity.
