“Double-Taker (Snout)” is a recent project from new media artist Golan Levin that consists of an eight-foot long robot arm, dressed-up to resemble an enormous inchworm with a googly-eye. “Snout” responds in unexpected ways to the presence and movements of people in its vicinity:

The goal of this kinetic system is to perform convincing “double-takes” at its visitors, in which the sculpture appears to be continually surprised by the presence of its own viewers — communicating, without words, that there is something uniquely surprising about each of us.
