Bins and Benches

Art collective Greyworld have created several robotic bins and benches to be placed in a piazza in Cambridge. The solar powered furniture is free to move around, they respond to members of the public and other factors, and each piece has its own personality.
The benches like to be say on, it makes them happier. To achieve this they will move about and flock together into interesting arrangements to attract people, and when it rains they will attempt to find drier places in the square.
The bins will move about and chuckle, but prefer to be solitary. They move about to find a quiet space to occupy.
When the mood takes them the furniture likes to sing, including forming harmonies if collected in a group. Occasionally the bins will join in too. Sometimes a bin and a bench will become attracted to each other, and will giggle and make rude noises.
