S+T+ARTS Talk: Cyberspecies Proximity

Waag Futurelab

CANCELLED - INFORMATION TO FOLLOW Artists Anna Dumitriu and Alex May present their research and robotic works on the sociability of robots.

Waag

Due to the Corona virus outbreak and the measures announced by the Dutch government, Waag is cancelling all public events up until April 6, 2020. Attendees of our events have been notified. Please keep an eye on our website as we&#x27;re working on postponing our events and offering alternative online sessions.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Artists Anna Dumitriu and Alex May have embarked on a S+T+ARTS Residency to develop their project Cyberspecies Proximity, in collaboration with Schindler and Lucas Evers of Waag.The artists are currently working with the New Technologies team at Schindler at their headquarters in Luzern and at their lab at EPFL Innovation Park in Lausanne in Switzerland. They are focussing on Schindler’s Human Robot Co-Mobility project to inspire their explorations of what it might mean to share our cities, sidewalks, and transport systems with intelligent embodied robots. They are fascinated by human and robot interaction and movement, and are specifically focussing on proximity, touch, body language and movement: the sociability of robots.Dumitriu and May are pioneers in creating robotic artworks that performatively explore our relationships to new technologies. From HARR1, their constantly moving humanoid robot which exhibits body language and boredom, to Antisocial Swarm Robots which make explicit the human need to project life-like behaviour on robots and explore our audience’s inability to deconstruct even the simplest algorithms. Since 2011, the artists have worked collaboratively on digital and robotics projects (alongside their extensive solo careers) and have an international exhibition profile at galleries and museums including ZKM, Ars Electronica and HeK Basel.  Their residency will result in a new human-robot performance experience and installation, where public audiences and researchers can reflect on the current research and speculative or playful future scenarios - grounded in the latest research. The artists have also been exploring the engineering methodologies of their collaborators at Schindler, including investigating robotic methods of way-finding, using a SLAM algorithm and creating a screen based ‘digital twin’ version of the artwork.Their robot will be programmed in Alex May’s open source Fugio visual programming system. Innovations will be shared with researchers. During their S+T+ARTS Talk at Waag on March 19, both artists will explain their research in collaboration with Schindler and present their robotic works.After the presentation there is a Q&amp;A moderated by Lucas Evers.Entrance costs 5 euros including a drink.
