We think about singularity, AGI and so on but we often forget a crucial part of this scenario: the make of the physical computer (machine), the body and the environment it operates within. This series is a testament to Uexkull and cybernetics of life, building on the strong coupling of intelligences, affordances and their environments.
The Academy of Artificial Arts (AAA) is a speculative foray into a fictitious art school for robots, exploring outsourced agency, creativity beyond authenticity, and multi-intelligence algorithmic existence. Drawing inspiration from Luna, my first robot, who came to be characterized as cute and shy by many, the project probes into the affective nature of technology and the role of our perception within this ecology. Throughout the series you will come across a semiotic branch of articulated robot arms that by design have different functions from which their creative practices sprout.
