Oribotics [SLQ] was a commission for the State Library of Queensland, as part of an infozone residency program. The program gave Matthew Gardiner access to the entire libraries image database for reworking into the sculptural work from Oribotics [laboratory].

The exhibition at the State Library of Queensland features the 2005 Atom Generation of robotic blossoms. They are linked to localities of Queensland, and they reflect the history of Queensland through an electronic photographic archive. The installation asks visitors to choose a location of meaning to them, be it their home town, a favourite place, or another place of personal significance. The work will search the photographic database, and electronically fold a projection of the relevant photos over the installation, bringing the oribots to life with light.
