Part of the Art & Science program annually presented by Surya University, and in collaboration with Dia Lo.Gue this year, ‘Arbotics’ explores a new approach in interdisciplinary studies through the concept of a robot, which is an effort to discover a new language and create a new paradigm in art. The participating artists examine imaginative stories and mysterious fantasies inherent in their own culture, which are then presented in the form of kinetic, interactive and robotic installations. By bridging and encountering between art and science, the most ordinary will be transformed into the most extraordinary.
