ArtBots: The Robot Talent Show

"... ArtBots is an international art exhibition for robotic art and art-making robots. No firm rules exist on the types of work that can be submitted; if you think it's a robot and you think it's making art, then it's an art-making robot. About fifteen submissions will be selected for participation in the show. The show will run for two days (saturday and sunday) with all artists in attendance. Selected works will remain installed during the rest of the week as part of EYEBEAM's summer robotics festivities.

The first ArtBots show took place in May, 2002, and included the work of ten artists and groups. Nearly six hundred people visited the show during its one day run, and the show received very positive coverage in many print and online publications in the USA and internationally, including The New York Times, TimeOutNY, BoingBoing.net, and the NASA's Cool Robot of the Week site.
