Although now obselete in terms of aesthetic cybernetics, in 1956 the CYSP 1 represented a pinnacle in responsive art. Created by Nicolas Schoffer, it is a spatiodynamic sculpture made of stainless steel and polychrome aluminum. It benefits from a complete freedom of movement guided by a mounted rolling base and 16 pivoting plates. Its movements are triggered by variations in the field of color around it and variations in light frequencies. The mechanisms that respond to the changes around it are controlled by photoelectronic cells and a microphone that pick up all different sound, color, and light intensities. The motors that control the movement of the plates and the body react to any variation in the field around it. For example, it has different movements for different colors, making it appear to take on emotions and preferences to certain conditions in the light, color, and movement spectrums. The effect makes it seemed calmed, excited, or even upset by certain changes in the space around it. The original exhibition to reveal the CYSP 1 featured a ballet dancer who would gracefully dance around the robot which would inturn respond. The CYSP 1 may not be very technologically advanced by today’s standards, but in an era where computers and robotics were more primitive, the CYSP 1 was a big breakthrough in the field.
