-Whitney Museum of American Art (Senior Project - Cooper Union) Artist: Adrianne Wortzel |
|||
| A theatrical
telerobotic installation which lived in the museum for the Data
Dynamics exhibition. Kiru the robot, walked and talked autonomously,
except when remotely controlled from the World Wide Web. Kiru
interacted
with visitors and commented on thematic issues of the work presented.
Contributions: Served as the liaison between the artist and engineering teams. Managed the integration of robotic technologies, web services, WiFi, wireless A/V technologies and A/V real-time webcasts, as well as artistic elements. |
