An intelligent telerobotic installation by James Coupe

In collaboration with Hedley Roberts and John Williamson

I, ROBOT (PHASE ONE)

Wednesday 21st - Sunday 25th August

Artsadmin, Toynbee Studios, 28 Commercial Street, London E1 6LS

Telerobotics makes it possible to represent oneself in remote places through a network. But how do others know that the robot is operated by a real person? And how do we know that the robot is representing the world accurately back to us?

I, Robot is a new art project that explores artificial intelligence, physical computing and remote control. It is an installation consisting of a social network of robots, live video streams and genetic algorithms.

For three weeks in August, Artsadmin will host I, Robot. This will culminate in a five-day exhibition, where visitors will have the opportunity to compete to parent robots and remotely participate in the robots' evolution within a sealed environment.

Opening times and further news about I, ROBOT (PHASE ONE) will follow in the next few weeks. For more information about the event or artist, contact Mark Godber at Artsadmin: 020 7247 5102 / [email protected]

This project, as part of the Artsadmin Artists' Bursary Scheme, is supported by the Arts Council of England, CIDA, Creative People, the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and London Arts. It is also financially supported by the London College of Music and Media, a Faculty of Thames Valley University.
