ROB // ROBOTS
1. CASE STUDY
“The starting point of this interdisciplinary exploration project was the difference between human and robotic modes of learning and movement. A contemporary dance choreographer and two Epson C8XL production robots were brought together in a creative workshop. Their task was to develop and rehearse a robotic dance performance for the EPSON booth on the CeBIT 2017.
Theoretically, a machine is capable of performing and endlessly repeating complex movement patterns without error. But does this ability make it a good dancer?”
