Production specifics
In Kooperation mit FH Joanneum / Informationsdesign

With “roboexotica”, the merry coexistence of man and machine will bring life into the festival centre for one afternoon: robots mix your drinks and fry pancakes for kids. Technology can be fun!

The focus of this festival of technology is on the human being, while robots hark back to their original purpose: making people’s lives more pleasant. With “roboexotica”, that began in 1999, monochrom, SHIFZ and the Bureau für Philosophie have been playfully showing that it is not in the nature of robots to take advantage of or oust human beings. If the intimate relationship of human beings and machines is disrupted today, then, according to the artists, it is due instead to commercial interests, pressure of production and surveillance politics. The ten robots in the courtyard of the festival centre prove this at first glance: one serves spirits, one makes pancakes, one cooks miso soup, and the other seven mix cocktails – sometimes clumsily, but always obliging and with culinary perfection!

In a workshop for children older than eight held by the Kindermuseum FRida & freD, kids can take a look behind the scenes of technology and build their own robots. Meanwhile, grown-ups can sample various robot drinks including the “Shot From Above”, “Amalettomat” and “Einarmiger Bsuf”. Cheers!
