The action figures are also found in more intimate objects designed for personal use.
A series of Probes are like human-machines sent into terrestrial or stellar space, with a mission to explore an unknown universe. In this case, rather than gathering information from nature, the probes trigger the creation of new gestures, scenes and mental journeys.
Probes are made to be worn or carried, like charms, or displayed on a shelf or wall, accessible during one’s daily activities.
