I went to UC berkeley's Art and Technology series which featured robot builder, Kal Spelletich. Kal's work involves hydralic robots and sculptures that he encourages audience members to experiment with. Combined with fire, these sculptures border on dangerous. His work explores the space of robot human interaction in a very performance based way. Other themes include playing with fear and interaction. Kal's work is also very influenced by the punk scene, the above piece for example takes on the issue of drinking in the scene.
His work was pretty inspiring to see, as i am very interested in build similar robots. Its really nice to see someone else exploring robots in an artistic way.
