OPENING PERFORMANCE

Location: Valvazorjeva 40, Maribor, Slovenia
time: 7 pm
Louis-Philippe Demers (SG). The Tiller Girls
AI robots performance, 2010
Music: Phillip Schulze. Lighting: Armin Purkrabek
Demers’s performance is a group of 12 small autonomous robots. These robots were developed in Artificial Intelligence for the study of gaits given minimal freedom of movements. The rationale behind the Tiller Girls is to explore the dichotomy of the man-machine. The robots can only balance their torsos and shoulders but they can yet achieve a large variety of expressions and behaviours.
