HELLO, ROBOT. DESIGN BETWEEN HUMAN AND MACHINE
MAK – Museum für angewandte Kunst
29.9.–1.10.2017
Guided tours are essential educational tools. This is also true when creating contact with the omnipresent robot species. Robotics – driven by Digital Modernity – has already fundamentally altered our working and daily lives. HELLO, ROBOT. told the story of a convergence of human and machine. More than 200 exhibition objects from the realms of art, design, and architecture, as well as examples from technology, film, literature, fashion, science, and pop culture examined the inexorable hype around intelligent machines and the crucial role played by design. As the first wide-ranging exhibition on the opportunities and challenges presented by robotics, visitors could reassess their own attitude towards new technologies.
