The Robotic Atelier Symposium+Exhibition

Thursday 16th – Exhibition private view (18:00-21:00)
Friday 17th – Symposium (10:00-18:00) + exhibition guided tour
Saturday 18th – Sunday 19th – Live robotics and machine-based art + exhibition (10:00-18:00)

the Embodied Agents in Contemporary Visual Art popup exhibition and Symposium marks the concluding event of the research project (2023–2026). This interdisciplinary initiative brings together artists, researchers, and scholars to explore how human creativity can be expanded through collaboration with robotics and artificial intelligence. Throughout the days of the event, the project’s artists-in-residence will present the outcomes of their year-long residency within our robotic labs. These include final artworks and experimental practices ranging from robotic drawing and hybrid painterly processes to new methods of integrating machines into artistic practice. The works of the artists in residence will be complemented by contemporary and pioneering works of art made using computational technologies and drawing machines. 

On Friday the 17th of April, we will hold a day-long symposium that will feature short presentations by the core team and artists in residence of the EACVA project, alongside presentations by Sean Clark, Paul Cohen and a panel on the curation of digital and machine generated art. The symposium will be followed by an interactive discussion with the artists in the exhibition space.
