PACK / INCUBATOR
Masaidov x Zakharova x LYM ART

The Laboratory.
This is where neurophysiology collides with robotics.
Where kinetic order unravels into chaos, and chaos folds into optical structures.
Where a neural impulse enters the algorithm, and the robot catches the motion of thought. Thought becomes the incubator of a crystal.

We explore the limits of the human.
The living becomes a formula.
The artificial begins to comprehend life.
The PACK experiment is an attempt to explore the concept of the "new human," where the boundaries of identity dissolve into a symbiosis with technology, forming new social organisms. At its core is a deconstruction of human consciousness and the transfer of its fragments into robotic dogs. The human becomes a function — a network of sensors for the entire pack. They delegate to it the ability to respond to what is seen and heard. It becomes a single whole.

The INCUBATOR experiment investigates the fragility of creating ideal order through the cycles of a crystal’s birth, life, and dissolution. The movement of 56 indicator capsules on kinetic winches visualizes the stages of crystallization: supersaturation, initiation, growth, stabilization, and decay. A crystal is incubated. A thought is formed.

All processes remain visible to the observer. The system learns, adapts, and expands.

There is an observer effect — the subject of the experiment responds to the viewer. Attention forms the trajectory.
The trajectory sets the motion.

About the Experiments
A project with no equivalent in the global community, this laboratory space hosts two experiments at the intersection of neurophysiology, robotics, sociology, kinetic art, and adaptive systems.
It is the world’s first instance of controlling both a robotic pack and kinetic motion through a single neurointerface.
Technology
An agent, wearing a neurointerface, controls a pack of 14 robotic dogs that move in sync around the artist, responding to their answers.

Technical Features

1.Reprogramming the factory settings of the robotic dogs
Our LYM Robotics division reflashed the robots, built a custom behavioral architecture, and created a new perception system. Each robot follows its trajectory, yet the entire pack shares a collective consciousness.

2.Shaping the social behavior of the pack
The pack functions as a single social organism. Each robotic dog occupies its place in the hierarchy — knowing when to yield, how to respond to the leader, and when to take initiative.

3.Symbiosis with a human via a neurointerface
The main challenge was integrating the human nervous system into the pack’s behavioral model. We capture emotional gradients, process them through neural networks, and translate them into signals that shape the pack’s behavior.
Pack
Fifty-six laser-illuminated indicator capsules on kinetic winches recreate the living process of crystallization in various modes, including direct control via neurointerface.

New Technology for the Industry

The project became the foundation for a new proprietary technology — capsule incubators that combine lasers, kinetics, and prisms. Conceived as an artistic image, they have evolved into a standalone tool with significant potential yet to be fully explored.

In INCUBATOR, 7 kinetic blocks were used, each with 8 winches and 8 crystal-filled indicator capsules. The technology is scalable — from as few as 8 winches to as many as 64.
