The Italian artist Norma Jeane worked with CODAME to design a robot that they subsequently liberated in Palm Desert. This robot has no function in the traditional sense. It does not serve us; it probably will not enslave us (perhaps only our imagination). Instead, this robot is programmed to run. To run immediately, with nervous electric heartbeat, in the opposite direction as soon as it senses the presence of a human being.
On March 4 at 7:30pm, The Lab will host a round table discussion conceived by Tobias Rees on the relationship between human and artificial intelligence. With:
Norma Jeane, artist
Tobias Rees, anthropologist (McGill University)
Federico Faggin, physicist (Synaptics, Inc.)
Eric Hanson, designer (Codame)
