Developed as an open source concept, individuals would be able to realise customised relationships with their own I. F.L.Y. robot. Taking the form of an autonomous flying balloon, each I. F. L.Y. robot interacts with humans according to their pre-programmed algorithms. These customised behaviours give each robot the illusion of its own unique personality, allowing it to be perceived as living entity capable of developing emotional bonds and relationships.

These human-robot interactions are recorded in real-time and used to shape the virtual environment, with their movements creating a three dimensional sculpture in virtual space representative of the human-robot relationships.
