<h1>ArtBots 2008 Dublin</h1>

<p>
The 2008 ArtBots show took place September 19-21, 2008, at Science Gallery at 
Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. The show featured 15 works by 16 artists from 9 countries, 
as well as performances, workshops, lectures, and an awards ceremony. Participating works were 
selected from an international open call for "robotic art and art-making robots", and represent a 
broad and inclusive cross-section of the tremendous range of creative art and robotics activity.
<p>
The ArtBots 2008 Dublin participants were: Paula Matthusen (USA), Leo Peschta (Austria), Koichiro 
Mori (Japan), Matt Denton (UK), Yuliya Lanina (Russia/USA), Che-Wei Wang & Kristin O'Friel 
(Japan/USA), Matthew Gardiner (Australia), Ralf Baecker (Germany), Byeong Sam Jeon (Korea/USA), 
Peter Redmond (Ireland), Allison Kudla (USA), Jack Pavlik (USA), Joan Healy (Ireland), Christopher 
Kaczmarek (USA), and Riley Harmon (USA). 
<p>
Sound artist Ray Lee (UK) helped celebrate the opening of the show on Friday with two presentations 
of "Forcefield", a kinetic sound machine performance. Metal fabricator/artisan Phillip Isohe 
(Kenya) created this year's Robots' Choice Award, and designer Eliza Gauger (USA) created the 
2008 ArtBots t-shirt design. During the show members of the EU funded Living with Robots and Interactive 
Companions project led discussions with the artists and audience members.

The ArtBots 2008 Dublin curators were: Douglas Repetto (USA - Columbia University Computer Music 
Center), Marie Redmond (Ireland - Trinity College Computer Science), and Warren Ellis 
(UK - graphic novelist). ArtBots 2008 Dublin was sponsored by Science Gallery at Trinity College
