Readwrite is a 10m long spatial robot with 24 rotating elements. Motion sequences on Readwrite are triggered by incomming "Muon" particles. Muons are terrestrial Cosmic Rays generated in the upper atmosphere by interactions with high-energy particles which originate from distant supernovae and supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei. Readwrite has four Muon detectors - one at each corner. When a Cosmic Ray is detected, a wave motion sequence is triggered from that point. Readwrite is installed on the NEXTDC Data Centre in Malaga, Western Australia.
