Artbots show in NYC this weekend!
I want to be these guys when I grow up.
I don't usually like to repost stories from BoingBoing but this crazy "build your own wacky robot and show it off" art show is going off in Harlem this weekend.
If you're an electronics geek and in or near New York this weekend, this is the place to be. With luck, I'll be there asking tons of questions about how they did stuff, as research for a new project I'm working on.
More details on the "project" after I clear it with my lawyers...
It.s an ArtBots invasion in Harlem! The Third Annual ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show will take place on September 17, 18, & 19 from noon to 6:00pm at The Mink Building on 126th Street & Amsterdam Avenue in Harlem. Featuring the work of 20 artists and groups from seven countries, the show celebrates the strange and wonderful collision of shifty artists, disgraced engineers, high/low/no tech hackers, rogue scientists, beauty school dropouts, backyard pyros, and industrial espionage that has come to define the emerging field of robotic art. Participants include robots that sketch, carve, float, wiggle, hum, ring, grow, wander, and sing, as well a number of works the form and function of which are not yet well understood.
