The exhibition is part of her PhD thesis ‘How is gender interpreted within the processes of designing robots and embodied AI’ and will feature three robots painting.
Referencing Bauhaus shape theory of the 1920s, animation, and material culture, three robots will move across a framed landscape of white paper, transforming it through the passage of movement and time. Viewers are encouraged to return throughout the weeklong residency to witness the slow transformation of the space through painterly post-human dialogue. Painty-Bot asks the viewer to consider the relationship between object and user, gendered colours and shapes, and the role of anthropomorphism in Human Robot Interaction, while celebrating our historic relationship as humans with these useful creatures, Robots.
Please note the robots will be painting for approximately 15 minutes between midday and 2pm each day.
The exhibition is free to attend and no booking is required.
