Last Moment Hospital is an interactive installation inside a hospital-like environment, where people go for their final rite of passage. In this empty room the Last Moment Robot is by the hospital bed. The robot is constructed as a medical device with a padded caressing arm, and a customized recording device designed to guide and comfort the dying patient. The process of dying is probably the most vulnerable moment of a human life, where one seeks the assurance of human connection. In this installation, human presence is replaced by a robot, questioning the quality of intimacy without humanity.
