In this public talk artist Paula Gaetano Adi will share her practice of making robots and will present preliminary ideas/provocations to reimagine robotics as an embodied technological practice of dissent.
Considering the powerful role of robotics in shaping our understandings of the human, Gaetano Adi’s work invites us to consider robotics as a re-futuring practice that explore the poetics and politics of technology by resisting the apocalyptic scientific conventions that dictates how to make, think, circulate, and operate
technology and calls us to speculate of robots as our comrades in the fight for repairing our planet.
