SEEK

If Negroponte’s SEEK was based on constraints, control, and order and Cohen’s AARON extended the embodied painterly mark through plotters, D.O.U.G. centers relation with machines, collaboration without control, human agency and embodiment. If the grid in SEEK Is a metaphor for the city, the arm in D.O.U.G.1-5 is a symbol for an anthropomorphized human subject, the mechanical double.
