The second annual international <i>ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show</i> took 
place at EYEBEAM Gallery in New York City on July 12-13, 2003. The show 
featured the work of 22 artists and groups from six countries. Thanks to 
the work of very many kind and talented people from around the world the 
show was a great success. We had well over 2000 visitors, as well as 
local, national, and international press coverage in print, television, 
and on the web.
<p>
Although we call ArtBots a talent show, it's really not about competition. 
It's about celebrating robotic art, and we think there's a lot to 
celebrate! So we'd like to congratulate all of the participating 
artists, and thank them again for their generous participation. They're 
the ones who made it all happen.
<p>
Each year we give out two awards: The Audience 
Choice Award (each visitor gets to vote for her favorite work) and The 
Robots' Choice Award (the artists vote for their favorite work). This 
year's winners are:
<p>
<b>Audience Choice Award:</b> <a

<b>Robots' Choice Award:</b> <a 
href="http://artbots.org/2003/participants/micro.adam_micro.eva/"><i>micro.adam 
& micro.eva</i></a>
<p>
Congratulations to the artists, curators, volunteers, and ArtBots friends 
from around the world who helped make the show such a success. We'll be 
back again next year!
