Dec
Join the “ROBOTIC ARTS” Workshop from 4 – 8 December and explore robotics as a physical and performative language of motion and response where the technology serves as a new visual medium for the individual – the artist, the architect, the designer.
About the workshop
This workshop addresses the issues of industrialization driven by robots and arts – aesthetic driven by humans. Currently the development of robots is largely associated with the industrial requirements. This training proposal explores robotics as a physical and performative language of motion and response where the technology serves as a new visual medium for the individual – the artist, the architect, the designer.
