About ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show
ArtBots is an international art exhibition for robotic art and art-making
robots. No firm rules exist on the types of work that can participate; if
you think it's a robot and you think it's making art, then it's an
art-making robot. Twenty-three artists/groups will participate in the
show, which will take place at EYEBEAM Gallery in
downtown Manhattan. The show will run for two days (saturday and
sunday) with all artists in attendance. Selected works will remain
installed during the rest of the week as part of EYEBEAM's summer robotics
festival, ROBOT.
History
The first ArtBots show took place in May, 2002, and included the work of
ten artists and groups. Nearly six hundred people visited the show during
its one day run, and the show received very positive coverage in many
print and online publications in the USA and internationally, including
The New York Times, TimeOutNY, BoingBoing.net, and the NASA's Cool Robot
of the Week site. You can access extensive documentation of the show and
participants at: http://artbots.org/2002
