Robot City

Could robots enhance our public space? Workshop participants will be invited to explore this question by experimenting with robots in augmented reality, and then moving from the digital to the analogue world to hack a robot from their imagination in creative ways. By speculating, storying and creating robot prototypes that can share our cities, participants will explore and express the public space robots they want and need.
Presented by Shanti Sumartojo and Ilya Fridman
Futures at the Edge symposium
This slow symposium discusses futures at/in/from the edge. It calls for a decentralising vision and asks how people, other species, environment and emerging technologies might live together in the as yet unknown, propelled by its edges.
