SIMPLE MACHINES - UGO DEHAES

During the performance "Simple Machines" the Belgian choreographer Ugo Dehaes shows how robots are born and trained to become dancers. He shows how he grows and trains organic-looking robots in his basement.

 

'In "Simple Machines" Ugo Dehaes shows the development of technology and its possible dimensions. Indirectly he reveals its dangers: we react to feelings that do not exist and build relationships with inanimate objects.' - Raphaela Portmann, Basler Zeitung

 

Simple Machines tries to make humans redundant in the creation process. A must for lovers of AI, interactive art, experimental dance and ethical issues. After the performance, the audience can teach robots new movements in the ARENA installation.
