Antifragility visualizes the birth of thought as a tension held between two poles. Like the electrodes of an induction coil, two robotic arms maintain balance, while volumetric threads become the ignition point — the barely perceptible moment when an idea emerges.
Antifragility
For the "spark of thought" to ignite, the robots must move with extreme precision, maintaining exact distance and tension across the threads.

The Antifragility installation unfolds in five stages — from hidden potential to the pursuit of realization:

  1. Potential
  2. Pressure
  3. Evolution
  4. Stability
  5. Pursuit

In this understanding of antifragility, the artists and T-Bank found common ground: the ability to extract potential from chaos and transform it into a force for growth.
Stages of Thought
2 Hyundai 220 industrial robots — the precision of the machine
3 meters of volumetric screen — the fragility of thought
6 LED rings — the spatial structure of the system

The installation is based on the principle of an induction coil: the robots act as electrodes between which energy is formed. Their movements are precisely synchronized to maintain the volumetric screen — a visualization of the birth of thought.

Technology
"Uncertainty is not a threat, but a possibility. We must learn to see not just risk in chaos, but potential for growth."
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile

In the depths of chaos, pure potential is born — the first spark of life and energy. The robots awaken slowly, symbolizing the emergence of an idea from emptiness.
Five-Part Structure of the Installation
1. Potential
"Some things become stronger through stress, pressure, and failure — others break. That is antifragility."
 Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile

External pressure forces the system to adapt, revealing both its fragility and strength. The robots teeter on the edge of collapse, holding tension to bring a new form into being.
2. Pressure
3. Evolution
"The best way to predict the future is to create it. Systems that can adapt and evolve have an advantage in a world full of change."
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile

Under pressure, the system transforms, reaching a state of lightness and flight. Energy is released, and the robots move with ease and harmony, expressing the joy and confidence of a newly formed idea.
"Complex systems cannot be fully understood, but they can be used. What matters is how they respond to change."
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile

The system reaches the peak of its evolution — a moment of fragile stability. The robots freeze in monumental stillness, embodying a temporary triumph over chaos and the beauty of balance.
4. Stability
"Antifragility is more than resilience. It’s the active pursuit of gain from chaos."
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile

The inevitable return to chaos disrupts stability, revealing the cyclical nature of an antifragile system. Everything unravels once more, making space for the next surge of potential.
