Robots and Avatars Exhibition is now touring to KIBLA, Maribor (Slovenia) from 5 to 30 October 2012 as part of Maribor 2012: European Capital of Culture.
The exhibition presents a variety of immersive experiences – from unconventional approaches to social networks, re-defining and exploring their influences and dead ends, through virtual worlds rendered into pixels through the act of touch, collaborative landscapes stretching beyond the confines of popular gaming, to electro-acoustic biological extensions, wearable technologies and interactive robotic elements that affect and try to define us, to seemingly ordinary, human behavior imitating robots.
Alongside the presented artworks,the Exhibition will include a series o workshops run by Artists, events and debates.
