POEtic-cubes: acquisition of new qualia through apperception using a bio-inspired electronic tissue

Published: 06 November 2005 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we shall present the research process towards an artistic installation, called POEtic-Cubes, that is constituted by nine autonomous robots monitored by the POEtic electronic tissue (bio-inspired hardware with adaptive features). The main goal of our research is to approach the processes involved in the acquisition of new qualia, so that the installation is being conceived for this purpose. The installation mimics the cellular behavior during the mitosis and the genotype to phenotype mapping processes, being these in charge of managing the development and the adaptation of an individual to the environment. We relate this adaptation principle, a fundamental step in the evolutionary growth of the species, to the evolutionary process of human consciousness, and we concentrate in its apperception mechanism that is used to generate new qualia.
