Robot Dreams
Kunsthaus Graz and the Museum Jean Tinguely, Basel are organising a symposium on the subject of robotics in the context of art. The event will explore the cultural history of the phenomenon, robots in everyday use and the importance of artificial intelligence for the development and self-image of society.
Robot Dreams is a platform for diverse scientists, artists and cultural historians to pursue the social, cultural historical and artistic implications of the subject. The symposium is closely connected with the joint exhibition program the two museums are planning for summer and autumn 2010 likewise focusing on the phenomenon of robotic and art.
