The images from these films were seen free of charge by all who wandered by on their travels this rainy evening.
An installation exploring sustainable robotics–an invention that feeds on renewable sources by Future Farmers (Amy Franceschini and Michael Swaine) and members of SFmicrocontrollers (Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Jack Buffington, Tracy Jacobs, Jill Knapp, John Edwards, with web cam programming by Charles Paul.) The installation is part of the robotic performance art show Robots On the March! curated by Heather Dewey-Hagborg for Other Cinema on Saturday, April 2nd at ATA: “a salon that celebrates the projects of regional sculptors and media artists who work with robotics, automation and artificial life.”
