The Robot Group was out in full geek-force to attend Dorkbot in November. We have pictures here and here! This event was extra special as we were able to show the progress of the RoboSpinArt machine. The machine had just been a concept and a buch of scribbles at a previous meeting and now it was ready to sling paint. We had LOTS of bots out and lots of Robofolk showed up to help and join in the fun.
The Robot Group was founded in the Spring of 1989 by a small group of Austin, TX artists
and engineers who shared a common vision: utilizing technology to provide and explore new
mediums for art. Through the synergy of fusing art and technology, The Robot Group has
stimulated the public into a playful interest in high technology, and art now has new
vehicles for effecting culture. The Robot Group has attracted a diverse audience of young
and old, tech and non-tech alike. Each with the curiosity to see the artful gracefulness
with which man and machine can create new worlds. The Robot Group has attracted national
and international, recognition. The Group's activities have inspired articles in Newsweek,
Mondo 2000 , boing-boing, FringeWare Review as well as appearances
on ABC's Good Morning America and an episode of Invention on the Discovery Channel. Other TV appearances
include the debut episode of Art Brigade, and the German program Kulture Report.
