In this module, I aim to create a metaphor for the tension that can be transferred onto the individual through observing others.  I want to craft an object that will either act, appear, or morph into a shape that aligns with societal expectations when observed and deforms when unseen.

Analogy: The placement or removal of magnets (based on observation) alters the fluid's patterns. While being watched fluid is forced into a certain shape. This mimics the idea of individuals transforming their behavior based on external pressures.

'''<u>Kilobots</u>'''
Description: "The Kilobot is designed to make tests of collective algorithms on hundreds or thousands of robots accessible to robotics researchers."
Reference: https://www.k-team.com/mobile-robotics-products/kilobot
Analogy: the mentioned behavior will be simulated. The bots could act uniformly and would show unique patterns when not being watched.
