RoBoB - drawing Freedom

What happens when a discarded electric wheelchair is given a new lease of life as an art machine? During this exhibition, you’ll discover RoBoB: an electric wheelchair that we’ve hacked and converted into an art machine in collaboration with artist Bob De Merlier. Using a giant pencil, the robot independently draws lines through the public space, creating its own drawing. RoBoB brings together technology, art and upcycling, whilst raising questions about autonomy, dependence and the relationship between humans and machines. When is something — or someone — actually written off? And what emerges when a machine no longer serves a purpose, but starts to create something of its own? Come and see the result of months of experimenting, building, hacking and collaborating. 🤖🦽✏️
